"Unlike today's megadealers with their constant poachings of high-profile artists whose careers were fostered by smaller galleries — and unlike today's collectors, whose feeding frenzy is driven by fashion and an eye for the auctions — Sonnabend was a kind of incubator, said the photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto, who has shown with the gallery since the 1970s."
