CENTRAL GALLERIES - Key Persons

Jeff Beja was still in college when he opened Central Galleries in 1985. He graduated from NYU with a degree in economics and finance in 1987 while running Central Galleries. Sometimes knowing how to pick the artists before they become successful can be more valuable than knowing how to define all of the "isms" in art. The best thing he ever got out of NYU was his wife Patty. A graduate of NYU herself with a degree in marketing, Patty Beja continued to work in the company while raising the couple's four children.
