With billings up to $87 million last year, Ganger beams: "We've nearly doubled our business in the past five years-and you don't do that by luck...
Nevelson sculptures (they might more accurately be called assemblages) are displayed in museums all over the world, fetch from $500 (for a small box of surprises) to $25,000 for a whole flabbergasting wall. This week Buffalo's Albright-Knox Art Gallery acquired Nevelson's Royal Game from Manhattan's Martha Jackson Gallery. Price for the 5-ft. by 4-ft. work, which is the gift of Museum President Seymour H. Knox: $6,000. Last month Nevelson won the $3,000 grand prize in the first Sculpture International of the Torcuato Di Telia Institute's Center...
