To
me, Ira’s gallery was an enchanting art exposition. This book is as compelling
as Ira’s galleries, combining attention to detail and artistic excellence.
—Pierre M. Matisse,
Grandson of world famous painter Henri Matisse
From his
grand events to his stunning galleries, Ira Jacobson’s story has the making of a
true classic, since he is someone special in his own right.
—Alan Gershwin,
Son of one of America’s great composers
Ira
Jacobson used the considerable resources of Brielle Galleries to benefit
numerous charities and good causes, including preserving our oceans. He has led
a remarkable life, as anyone who reads this book will see.
—Jean-Michel Cousteau,
President & Founder, Ocean Futures Society
From the
moment I first saw them, Ira Jacobson’s beautiful galleries took my breath away.
His story of building an internationally renowned business from a tiny
storefront is a true tale of entrepreneurial ingenuity and persistence—with more
than a few dashes of glamour and excitement. The only regret that readers will
have after they finish this book is they can no longer visit the spectacular
Brielle Galleries.
