Their father, Takis Efstathiou, has been in the art business for over 40 years.  In 1973 Takis was the Director of the Tchernov Gallery in New York City and in 1977 opened the Ericson Gallery on 74th Street and Madison Avenue.  Ericson Gallery exhibited many artists such as Rudolf Bauer, William Baziotes, Hilla Rebay, Theodoros Stamos and Jacques Villion.

In 1986 Takis started dealing privately under the name PTE Fine Arts, and in 2001, Eric and Paul joined their father’s business.  Today, Eric and Paul, run this dynamic international business from their location in New York. They are just blocks from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Guggenheim Museum on 86th Street between Madison and Fifth Avenue.
