We spotted Léonard at the market a couple of weeks ago and loved his attention to details – the scarf and sunglasses make the look, don’t they?!

Inside you’ll find anything and
It was one of those early summer nights where the air had a slight hot stickiness to it, but every once in awhile the breeze would bring refreshing relief.

The first words that come to mind when we think about our friend Vernon Dubner, the gallerist of Dubner Moderne, are dapper, passionate and kind.

Since 2006 when their short-format, quasi-theatrical and highly-engaging talks became available for streaming online, TED has been blowing our minds by bringing attention to the work of experts who although they have “ideas worth sharing” might otherwise labor in silence in the silos of the hyper-specialized modern workplace.
