the Peace Corps in 1990 after

After 3 years of working
on law reform in the ngo sector, he decided he'd rather run a business, and
founded First European Shipping. The company would become Central Europe's
leader in commercial art shipping by the time he sold it in 2005 to Interdean, Europe’s largest household
goods mover. He holds Hungarian state appraisers licenses in Antique
Furniture and Oriental Carpets, and works as an art agent with Taylor
Art Advisors. Central European University
admitted him in 2004 to do his Phd. in Cultural History. He defended his
dissertation in February 2011 on the Development
of the Hungarian Art Market, 1800-1914. Dr. Taylor also lectures in
Arts Management at the International Business School of Budapest in the
BAAM (Bachelor of Arts in Arts Management) program.
