In their own words...

 

What part of your job makes you get out of bed and come to work in the morning?

Getting to work hands-on with such incredible artwork. From the research to the physical condition reporting, I love getting to know the stories behind each work consigned to auction.

 

If you could own any object Freeman's has sold, which would it be?

I would love to own a Lalanne sheep. There is something so whimsical and charming about them⁠—and they each seem to have their own personalities! Not to mention the fact that they are also iconic and hold such significance in art history.
