‘ATG’s’ with Emily Greenspan Art Advisor, Consultant, Multi-Tasker & Soul Cycle Demon!

I met the fabulous Emily Greenspan when I was in LA for work many years ago. We have stayed friends – even though she nearly killed me during a Soul Cycle class (I only agreed to go if I’m honest as there was a chance David Beckham would be side-saddle… he wasn’t).

Emily has had such an interesting career I thought she would make a magnificent ‘Around the Grounds’ guest on the pod. I’d put off our chat as I really wanted to be sat poolside at her house in LA with my trusty mic and recorder but COVID had other plans and Zoom it was. As Emily’s story involved so much travel, I thought even though we can’t travel it might be rather lovely for our ears at least to be taken to faraway places.

Tag Arts was created in 2007 by Emily – check out the website below. She initially started her firm while living in New York but is currently based in Los Angeles. Emily has been around the arts her whole life. Her family owned Newel Art Galleries, a prestigious antiques gallery in New York, where she worked for several years. Before that, she was an editor at Elle Decor, a well-known home-design magazine. Then there was Ralph Lauren in the Uk and… actually I will let Emily tell her story.

One thing I want to add is as a serious 20th Century history nut/nerd I was on the edge of my seat (literally) listening to the story about her father and his business relationship with the late Jackie Kennedy-Onassis. Jackie bought furniture and antiques form Emily’s fathers gallery – including a beautiful oriental chair (check out my Instagram page). I sat in the chair when I was last in LA, the same chair that lived in the White House and that both Jackie O and JFK would have sat in. And on that note, I hope you enjoy listening to Emily’s fascinating story as much as I enjoyed hearing it. x
