“Have you ever stood in front of a painting and said to yourself: ‘My 9-year-old could have done that?’” asks Schachter, who has just opened “Friends & Family,” a show he curated with his two teenage sons at his Hoxton Square gallery, Rove. Art by Damien Hirst, George Condo, Zaha Hadid and Keith Tyson hangs alongside works by Schachter; his four sons, who range in age from 9 to 15; their school friends, and even the family’s car mechanic.

  “It’s all seamlessly integrated, so you decide for yourself what’s good or not,” he says during a walk-through of the show, which runs until April 15 at Rove, which is catty corner to Jay Jopling’s first White Cube Gallery. “Friends & Family” plays to some of Schachter’s long-held beliefs — that great art doesn’t necessarily have to hang at the Guggenheim and cost a million-plus dollars, and that it’s a great way to relate to your kids. Also in the show are The artists Jasper Joffe and Harry Pye 99p shop.Which is filled with postcard-sized drawings, potato prints of Andy Warhol, painted egg cups and sculptures made from shuttlecocks.
