Art Love Affair
Eric Cohler
American Art Collector, October 2008

“Cerebral, dynamic, exciting, courageous, luminous— these adjectives are reserved for the ineffable and I have never before grouped them into the same sentence. I may not do so again, but the collection that James Cottrell, an anesthesiologist, and Joseph Lovett, a documentary film maker, have assembled commands superlatives. The partners have collected art since the late 1970s, amazing a collection that is, in a word, dazzling.”
