Description
In this oral history, gallery owner Robert Green recounts his life in the art world. Born in 1941 in New Jersey, Robert grew up in the New York metropolitan area. He attended Dickinson College in Pennsylvania, after which he joined the U.S. Coast Guard. Robert worked in publishing and advertising before moving into the fine art sector. Robert recounts traveling the world for 22 years as an enterprising young art dealer before he settled in Mill Valley and opened his gallery, Robert Green Fine Arts, at 154 Throckmorton Ave. Robert discusses a number of the artists he has worked with over the decades, such as Sam Francis and Paul Jenkins, as well as the ins and outs of the art world, concluding with why Mill Valley is a wonderful place to live and operate an art gallery.
