MR. MCELHINNEY: And what was your childhood like? Were you encouraged in art at all? Was there an interest in art?MR. SPANIERMAN: No, but my father was an antique dealer when I was young, and then when I was about nine – I think I was nine years old or thereabouts or maybe older – he became an auctioneer, and he started something called Savoy Art and Auction Gallery, which he used to operate between Fifth [Avenue] and Madison [Avenue], sorry. So he was a block and a half away from where I am now. (English)
