Randall J. Slavin

“Nothing will go as you expect it to go.” We all have perceptions of how things “should” go, but the real world teaches us quickly that if we’re doing things of significance, we don’t initially have a complete perspective.

As a part of our series about “5 Things I Wish Someone Told Me When I First Became An Artist or Art Curator” I had the pleasure of interviewing Randall J. Slavin.

Randall J. Slavin is an American entrepreneur, fine art dealer, and philanthropist. As a premiere provider of international fine art, with galleries established in such locations as Shanghai, Vietnam, and Beverly Hills, Slavin is the proprietor of Winn Slavin Fine Art. He’s also the director of the Academy of Fine Art Foundation, a non-profit formed to raise awareness and educate in the area of fine art and to promote philanthropic activities; the publisher of Art Confidential, a luxury lifestyle publication dedicated to the fine-art culture; and the CEO of WS Productions, for which he executive produced the cinematic short “Creation” and is currently in pre-production on its feature-length version.
