In
1966, at the age of forty-one, Sidney Felsen moved from the world of accounting
to that of art, founding the artists’ workshop and fine-art print publisher
Gemini GEL in Los Angeles. With Gemini GEL, Sidney quickly got to work with
some of the biggest artists of the twentieth century: Man Ray, Josef Albers, Jasper
Johns, and Robert Rauschenberg, to name a few. And Gemini GEL continues its
work with new generations of artists, including Julie Mehretu, Tacita Dean, and
David Hammons. 



In this episode, Felsen talks about how Gemini GEL got started and grew into the organization it is today, sharing stories about the artists he’s worked with along the way.
