Art Collection
Looking closely, and taking the time to see.
Art is not a side note in our family. It is part of how we see the world.
Built with the same discipline as every other investment, and with a different kind of patience.
Art has accompanied our family for generations, as a source of conversation, of perspective and of quiet confidence in the long term.
Today the collection is a living part of the next generation's wealth. It is never shown publicly as a whole, and its works are rarely named.
Three circles, one collection.
Blue chip
Works by established artists whose place in art history is secure. We look for quality and significance within an oeuvre rather than for names alone, and we acquire for the long term.
Contemporary
Artists in the middle of their careers whose voice has matured and whose work speaks to its time. Here we follow conviction and conversation more than the market.
Emerging
Young artists at the very beginning. We acquire early, follow their development over years and see this part of the collection as an investment in people as much as in works.
Beyond the canvas
Sculpture, photography and works on paper complete the collection where they add a voice of their own.
Principles.
Provenance
A work's history matters as much as its presence.
- Careful examination of every acquisition
Care
Kept, conserved and insured to the standard it deserves.
- Passed on in better condition than found
Time
Some works stay for generations, others move on when the moment is right.
- No pressure to buy, no pressure to sell
Discretion
Acquisitions are made quietly, often privately.
- Works and sources are not disclosed
