Collector Talk: The First Contemporary Work That Blew My Socks off Was…

While Jan van Eyck may have set the Belgian standard about 600 years ago, how familiar are you with contemporary artists from the same country. Meet attorney and art collector Joris Beernaert for some inspiring conversations on Belgian contemporary art and works on paper. He has been building a collection since 17 years ago, which includes Berlinde De Bruyckere, Kris Martin, Micha?l Borremans, Fabrice Samyn, and others.

Revealing that half of his collection was bought after seeing digital images only, Joris Beernaerttalked to LARRY’S LIST about the first contemporary work that drew him into collecting; his attraction for artists who create poetic symbiosis between seemingly irreconcilable themes; why meeting the artists is a nice-to-have rather than a must-have; and his views on the digital art market.
