Becoming a Collector
![](https://www.viennacontemporary.at/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Becoming-a-collector-1024x683.jpg)
Every collection is as unique as its collector; from its thematic focus to how its contents are acquired, there is no “right” way to build – and no one pathway to entry. But across every collection, one thing remains true: each individual addition enhances the value of the whole. The barriers may seem high, but the most thoughtful collections aren’t often inherited: they are built, with passion and curiosity. In a candid, rare “fireside chat” style panel, contemporary collectors and advisors compare notes and share stories about how they got into acquiring art.
