Jen Bekman，在纽约soho拥有同名画廊：“我收藏过程中其中一个大乐趣是，在我的收藏里，我和这些我拥有的作品的艺术家都有着私人密切的关系。我时常买一些东西然后最后都回拿出来展出，我时常都会得到和我工作的艺术家给的礼物。”
NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2006—Says Jen Bekman, who owns a gallery of the same name in SoHo: “One of the great pleasures I take in collecting, and in my collection, is that I have personal relationships with all the artists whose work I own. I often buy something and then subsequently end up showing their work. I've also received a lot of amazing gifts from artists I've worked with."

Tema Stauffer加油站
我的第一个收藏：
第一个作品是Tema Stauffer加油站，共700美元。
我第一次看到tema的作品是在一个群展，我的经验里，那是一个不很正式的私人活动，也是带领我开办画廊的一个关键。我和一个朋友到开幕式上，他也对tema的作品有兴趣。
My First Acquisition:
The first piece I bought was Tema Stauffer's Gas Station. It was $700.
I first saw Tema's work at a group exhibition. My experience at that show, which was a very informal private event, was one of the key events that led me to actually open my gallery. I'd gone to the opening with a friend of mine, and he'd taken an interest in Tema's work.
It was hard to find out a lot of information about her work from the materials provided, so I tracked her down and brought her over to my friend to discuss the piece and her work overall.
Creating that connection and participating in the conversation that ensued was a “light bulb” moment for me. I didn't know it then, but a few months later, Tema would be exhibiting her work in my gallery's inaugural exhibition alongside Mara Bodis-Wollner and Dana Miller.

Agnes Barley
我最喜欢的收藏：
是Agnes Barley的一个在纸上用丙烯画的画。是一个礼物，类似的作品要5000美元。是一个很非常舒心和迷人简单的作品。一直都在我的起居室里，我从来都不会看腻的。
The Favorite Work in My Collection:
My favorite piece is an acrylic on paper painting by Agnes Barley. It was a gift from the artist; similar paintings are around $5,000. It's incredibly soothing and deceptively simple. It's hung in my living room for years, and I never tire of looking at it.

Kate Bingaman
我最近的收藏：
我最近的收藏是非常（非常）适度的。我买了Kate Bingaman非常棒的“每日购物”的画，从她的网站上买的，强迫性消费（网站名）。它们很可人很特别，而且有很好的价钱，才25美元一个。
My Most Recent Acquisitions:
My most recent purchase was very (very!) modest. I bought several of Kate Bingaman's absolutely genius "Daily Purchase” drawings, from her Web site, Obsessive Consumption. They are lovely and special and a true bargain at only $25 each.
I gave a couple away as gifts. My friends Caterina [Fake] and Stewart [Butterfield], the founders of Flickr [the popular Web site for sharing digital photos], got a [very appropriately titled] drawing of Kate's. My publicist, Lauren Cerand, received a drawing of a pair of Gold Shoes, which I'd deemed very Lauren.
I kept two to myself: one of a moleskine notebook and another of an ice cream sandwich, two items I love immeasurably.
我收藏中最有价值的东西：
这个回答还不能预见。我的热情在那些新锐的：艺术，艺术家和收藏家，我自己也是一个新锐的“画廊家”。我想我们都在赏识的过程中。我喜欢这个过程。
The Work I Own That Has Appreciated Most in Value:
The answer to this is yet to be seen. My passion is for all that's emerging: art, artists, collectors and, since I suppose I'm an emerging gallerist, galleries! I think we're all in the process of appreciating, and I'm enjoying the ride.
The artist most ascendant from my exhibition inventory is probably Swoon. I curated a group show called "Made in NY" in Summer of 2003; it was Swoon's NYC gallery debut. She showed alongside other street artists such as Darius and Downey and Vinnie Ray, as well as some amazing photographers, including Mitch Epstein.
