An Adventurer Explores the Art World

Con motivo del lanzamiento del libro de Erling Kagge “A Poor Collector’s Guide to Buying Great Art” , Gestalten, la editorial, ha creado este inspirador vídeo titulado “Un aventurero explora el mundo del arte.” Kagge, un explorador, abogado y escritor noruego, empieza la pieza recordando uno de los mejores consejos que recibió: “Piensa en el futuro, viaja ligero y deja tus miedos detrás.” Kagge, la primera persona en superar los “tres polos”, el Norte, el Sur, y la cima del Everest, cree que esta regla también se puede aplicar para empezar nuestro camino como coleccionistas en el mundo del arte.

Autor del lema: “Si lo puedes soñar, lo puedes hacer, el explorador nos cuenta que la pasión, la intuición y el conocimiento son importantes para construir una colección, incluso si tenemos presupuesto limitado. Muy influenciad por su espíritu aventurero, Kagge nos recuerda que “Coleccionas con tus ojos, pero también con tu nariz y tus orejas.” Basado en su propia experiencia, ha creado esta guía para eso que quieren comprar piezas de arte pero no saben como o dónde hacerlo.

Y para terminar algunas de sus claves para ser un coleccionista de éxito:

1. Obsesiónate.
2. Acepta que no hay reglas, sólo tratos.
3. Ama la pieza, no el precio.
4. Ten talento para el talento.
