note to self: dress the part

Roberta Smith weighs in on Deitch going to MOCA: “Mr. Deitch is not just any art dealer. For one thing, despite running a free-form, often funky art gallery — sometimes as a nonprofit, as others have noted — he has always looked like a museum director. His hair is always in place; he wears almost without fail a dark (bespoke?) suit and French cuffs.”

(My favorite part of that quote? The parenthetical question mark.)
