I first met Joan Robledo-Palop when my colleague inquired by happenstance about an available Sonia Delaunay from Robledo-Palop’s gallery, Zeit Contemporary Art. We were hoping to include the Delaunay in a show curated by the art advising company I work for, Samuels Creative. We then proceeded to meet with Robledo-Palop at UOVO, an art storage facility to see the work in person. His passion for the work and art, in general, came through immediately, as he effortlessly situated the Delaunay in the larger art historical canon for us. I remember being instantly impressed by his calm, collected, and knowledgeable demeanor.
