Boris Fridman, Art Collector

Over the last several years I have had the tremendous pleasure of knowing Boris Fridman, international art collector and curator of major exhibitions in Europe. We have worked together on three compendium volumes of art and other publications that he has overseen. Boris collects artiste d'livre boxed sets of prints that were sold at exhibitions 1900-1980, and was kind enough to write the foreword to my forthcoming book "American Snapshot."
