We hosted the Jared Sable Memorial today. People from all aspects of Jared's art world and family life came out to share in the memories of Jared, the man, the dad, the grandpa and the art dealer.
After welcoming the assembled crowd of artists, dealers, art collectors and the like, Jane Corkin spoke of her first memories of Jared Sable when she was at David Mirvish Gallery in the 70's, both selling photographs in a city where clients were not easily challenged to own photographs. Jane Corkin also spoke of her experience of Jared Sable when she was president of the Art Dealers Association of Canada, and he was on the board, as always being fair, cutting through the personalities and the drama to the essential.
Jared Sable's oldest daughter, Joanna Sable spoke about what it was like to grow up with an art dealer father, and what he taught her about looking.
Barbara Astman and Tony Scherman, both artists who showed with the Sable-Castelli Gallery, gave anecdotes of their experiences with the loving curmudgeon.
Art Dealer Fabrice Marcolini added what it was like to be Jared Sable's neighbor as a dealer for 7 years.
And finally, before Corkin gave the final toast, Art Writer Sarah Milroy spoke about how Jared Sable taught her to see.
The assembled crowd enjoyed lively conversation around coffee and chat to remember a beloved colleague.
