Mark,

If you want to know about Jon's roots in the art world you should 
read the articles about him and the Cone Editions history posted on 
the inkjetmall site. He is definately connected into the gallery and 
experimental art scene. I don't think Jon would not have any trouble 
dealing with the gallery owner Julian encountered!
