Description
My guest today is Michael Lee. Michael is a dealer in rare photographs and the director of Lee Gallery. Today, he takes us on a tour across this under-the-radar market. We talk about the difference between the primary and the secondary market, the buy side, and tastemakers. We also cover his process for finding buyers, pricing inventory and his view on NFTs.
This is exactly the kind of esoteric market I wanted to explore when we transitioned the show to Making Markets, and I hope you enjoy this conversation with Michael Lee.
