The most underrated art movement is…

Souls Grown Diaspora—the next step after Souls Grown Deep, when the Great Migration led artists such as Frederick Weston and Otis Houston Jr. north to New York, Chicago and Detroit.

It’s never too late to…

Open a gallery.

It always bothers me when…

Interesting artists are under-recognised.

My favourite book is…

Sanou Oumar, Drawings, which was published earlier this year by Pre-Echo Press (founded by Matt Connors) and launched at Karma Books. Designed by Omar Sosa of Apartamento magazine with a text by Matt Paweski, it is a perfect book.

Pays artists first.

The Frieze New York fair certainly has...

Surprise me.

The next big thing is…

The artist Tabboo!
