Article on Scope quotes Washington, DC Gallerist

"New York is not about razzledazzle," Andrea Pollan, the director of Curator's Office, a Washington, D.C., gallery that is showing at Scope New York, said. "I'd like to think there's a little more contemplation going on in New York, a more thoughtful process to collecting."
