PHOTO FINISH
Starting young as an art collector can open a door to a journey of discovery, where the “hunt” quickly becomes somewhat of an addiction. The goal when just beginning should be to bring meaning to the collection by growing it with pieces you love. The collectors featured here have all chosen to focus on works of photography—but each has had a different starting point. The common denominator? Holden Luntz Gallery in Palm Beach, where Holden and Jodi Luntz’s mentoring set these budding collectors on their path.
JAYE LUNTZ
Jaye comes from an eminent family of art dealers and collectors. Her grandfather, the late Irving Luntz, was a well-known art dealer in Palm Beach; her parents, Holden and Jodi Luntz, have had a successful photography gallery on Worth Avenue for many years. Jaye has followed in their footsteps and now runs a gallery next door geared toward a younger clientele.
She grew up shaped by the images that have been seared into her consciousness, the artists who became family friends, and the knowledge her family shared with her. “My father would drive me to school and play Van Morrison’s Moondance in the car,” Jaye recalls.
