Just a little story about this cat by the name of Walter Hobbs. After reading the interview with him done by  Hanis Ulrich Obrist, and seeing the movie The Cool School I have gained a great deal of respect for not only Mr. Hobbs but for the role of the curator in general. It was helpful that I was able to add the insight of the interview with the story of the movie. Setting the stage for what became the Cool School was just as interesting as “The Scene “. As with most great things there is always a lot of hard work done by a lot of people. It takes years of this hard work and persistence to see the fruit. I am certain that Mr. Hobbs spent a lot of long nights bringing his visions to fruition. Another key ingredient that was present to make “the scene “ happen was the collectors having them was just as important as the artist. I guess it all comes back to the five things it takes to make it work. But I think The Cool School was a lot more than just something that worked. It must have been a really exciting time. With all the different players and no lack of strong and interesting personalities. And the one that was able to bring all these special people together at that special time was Walter Hobbs. I hope to learn more about him in the future.
