 | | A new gallery, it was called White Cube, and Jay Jopling, the dealer whose brainchild it was, had brought worldwide attention to some of the most talked-about artists on the British art scene, including Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Marc Quinn, and Antony Gormley. |
 | | The 36-year-old Jopling is a tall man with a voluble but reassuring manner of speaking and an expensively tailored wardrobe. |
 | | He considers himself not so much a dealer as a “gallerist”—a man whose job is not only to maintain close, often day-to-day contact with his artists but also to promote their careers and to prepare the market for their works, which range in price from $1,000 to $1 million. |
