COLLECTING DESIGN

Παρουσίαση

The design world never held much interest for me. From a purely investment perspective, art always looked more promising. Exceptional prices for extremely desirable works of art have been a recurring phenomenon for centuries, but ten years ago, the contemporary art world began to feel energised and sexy in a whole new way. I became obsessed with discovering and collecting the most explosive artists I could find. The art market was beginning to take off into uncharted territory. By 2005, works by Takashi Murakami, Damien Hirst, Richard Prince and many more were hard to get and selling for huge premiums at auction and on the secondary market. (. . .) (from the publisher)
