COLLECTORS CORNER: Danny First — (print exclusive)

by | May 14, 2025

Tell us who you are in 50 words or less:

I live, collect, and breathe art. For the past ten years, I’ve run the La Brea Studio Artist Residency,  The Cabin LA (according to ArtNewspaper: “Per square foot, the most influential gallery in LA”), and The Bunker LA. Two alternative exhibition spaces in LA. I also sculpt.

What do you require from an artist you collect?

Originality. Even if other artists heavily influence them.

Favorite place to meet with an artist outside of their studio or your home?

I take my visiting artists to exhibits that I think they should see & also to In & Out.
