Tad Dale has a well deserved reputation in the business for his comprehensive knowledge of the world's many diverse art forms and cultures, and his kind generosity. I will always be indebted to him for the encouragement and inspiration he gave me as a young dealer starting out in the business, and the wealth of information he continues to share.
