The Thrill of Collecting
(firmenpresse) - MAASTRICHT, THE NETHERLANDS -- (Marketwire) -- 03/12/13 -- What is it about art that resonates with a collector and inspires a range of emotions? The answers are varied, "art inspires me; art is society's most important expression; I collect antiquities for the thrill of owning a piece of history; I love art and need it around me." It usually begins with the appreciation for a specific piece or body of work which captivates the admirer. Whether a compelling painting, an antique object or abstract work - there is deep emotional connection a collector holds for art.
Nowhere is the love and appreciation of beautiful and important art and antiques more evident than at The European Fine Art Fair. Universally regarded as the world's leading art fair, TEFAF Maastricht is unrivalled in its level of quality and in the methods it employs to establish and guarantee the authenticity of every painting and object on offer.
As part of its cultural program at TEFAF, AXA ART has asked twelve international collectors to share their personal reflections on what inspires them to collect and ultimately build great collections. Their responses along with their photographs will be on display in the AXA ART Lounge at the fair.
"We understand collecting is deeply personal. AXA ART was created by a group of collectors who understood this first hand," said Dr. Ulrich Guntram, Global CEO, AXA ART. "We are committed to supporting efforts that enhance the ability to properly care for and preserve objects of art, whether your collection is in Maastricht, New York or Hong Kong".
AXA ART's established partnership as Principle Sponsor of TEFAF spans 10 years. Both art market players share mutual perspectives on the art world and respect for operating in an environment of excellence. The relationship offers the occasion to engage collectors, art dealers, brokers, art market professionals and guests at the fair and the opportunity for AXA ART to provide support as art lovers seek ways to protect the longevity and value of their collections.
AXA ART is pleased to support the Van Gogh's Drawings: Masterpieces from the Van Gogh Museum at TEFAF - Be sure to visit this exceptional exhibition of 15 rare masterpieces by Vincent van Gogh, housed in the Paper Section of TEFAF. The artworks will be presented chronologically from Van Gogh's first ambitious drawings in The Hague, when he focused on figures and landscapes, through his impressive landscape drawings in Nuenen, to his Paris watercolors.
