Rapport Formation

The usual ritual at the show is rapport formation with the person who brings stuff to be appraised. Following the ritual, Weiss began the show by asking general questions to the boy. Weiss initiated the interview by asking the boy about the painting, he brought along. He even says to the boy,  “You must be the youngest collector that I’ve seen.” With a smile on his face, the boy responded, “I think so.” Weiss was surprised to see a boy this young showing up at the show.
