Nir Hod lives a high-profile lifestyle.

Although he comes from a relatively conservative family, he is one of the most colorful and successful alumni of the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design. If David Bowie and Andy Warhol had a son, he might look and act like Nir Hod.

He studied art at Cooper Union in the early '90s when he was 21 and lives and works in NYC. In his apartment in Chelsea, you'll find art by Richard Phillips (Gagosian), Ken Solomon, and Margaret Evangeline. Hod wished he had a small Picasso.

Hod is both a romantic who falls in love easily and very methodical. He plans to name his future children Alexandra and Dorian.

Hod says that in the world in which we live, nothing is controversial anymore. In his opinion, rebellion ended in the '80s.

At Art Basel Miami 2013, Nir Hod sold a series of four miniature oil pumps and gold flakes, encased in a crystal ball for US $1,000,000 within 2 hours of opening. He named it "Once everything was better, even the future."
