Castelli

NEW YORK (CNN) -- While he may not be a household name, Leo Castelli is considered the foremost art dealer of the 20th century. Since he came to the United States from Italy in 1941, he has put some of the country's most famous artists on the map -- artists like Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg and more. At the age of 90, Castelli is celebrating the 40th anniversary of his New York gallery with a special exhibit of the work of artists he helped discover. CNN Correspondent Norma Quarles recently talked with Castelli and some of the artists he has ushered into the public eye.
