Ian BloomIan Bloom is an American art dealer and founder of Natural Gallery, a private institution focused on the placement, preservation, and long-term value of contemporary art. His work moves fluidly between literature, cinema, visual art, and sound, unifid by an interest in myth, power, and permanence. Bloom has published multiple books, composed and released albums, and written, directed, and performed in independent films, approaching each medium as part of a single, authored system. Born in Los Angeles and shaped by formative years between New York, Japan, and Europe, Bloom studied art history and cinema at Columbia University, political science and literature at UC Berkeley, and later completed graduate work at NYU Stern. His books form part of a larger archive that underpins his work as an art dealer and institutional operator, where art, authorship, and market structure converge. Read More Read Less
