‘All the electrifying paintings I wish I’d bought’: New York restauranteur Keith McNally recalls his art wins and regrets as memoir debuts

New York restaurateur Keith McNally, known for founding Balthazar and the Odeon, discusses his art-buying habits and regrets in a new memoir titled *I Regret Almost Everything*. In an interview with The Art Newspaper, McNally recounts his first serious purchase—a $500 painting by Albert Montmerot in 1989—and his most recent acquisitions, including works by Élisabeth Ronget and Walter Steggles. He describes his instant attraction to paintings, his tendency to agonize over purchases just beyond his budget, and the persistent regret of not buying certain works he now covets.
