He has led major initiatives such as our gallery's relocation to Hollywood in 2017, the growth of our art fair participation, and the inclusion of many of the gallery's artists. This change in name serves to reflect his many contributions to the ongoing growth and success of our business."
Adding to this sentiment, Curcio states, "Collaboration is at the heart of everything that Shula does, and working together over these years has been enriching in so many ways. I'm thrilled to expand our collaboration and continue to build together."
