What does it take to be a collector?
One word answer- LOVE (x3)
We know a guy- let’s call him Mike- He’s a collector. Big time. He’s not rich. He’s not fancy. Or Harvard educated (as far as we know). But he’s an art patron, he’s our hero.
We asked him; How does he decide to buy art?
”I’m very picky, he says." if I see something I really love, LOVE-LOVE-LOVE,
I have to really love it, I buy it.”
It’s as simple as that. He lives paycheck to paycheck, like a lot of us. He finds a way. He’s passionate about buying art the way those of us who make the art are passionate.
He pays a little, every paycheck, till it’s his.
