Vance Jordan Fine Art | Information: "Vance Jordan, President and Founder (1943 - 2003)

After graduating near the bottom of his engineering class at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Vance Jordan put his extremely limited knowledge of this subject behind him in order to work as a squash instructor at the New York Athletic Club. He further prepared himself for a 24-year career as an art dealer by establishing a very successful children's talent agency. His knowledge of art came from 35 years of harassing scholars and colleagues with endless inquiries, countless hours visiting museums, galleries and auction houses in Europe and America, and approximately three times the number of art history classes required for the most stringent Ph.D. degree. The many friends and clients of Vance Jordan have to come to value over the years the truly important contributions he made to the field of American art through his discerning eye for collecting, ground-breaking scholarly exhibitions, and unique personality."
