Collector Talk - Louis Kotze

My House Looks Like a Scene out of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”

Based in Cape Town, Louis Kotze first started collecting South African old masters, whom his father used to collect, and then ventured into European and American contemporary art. With around 300 works in his collection, he exhibits his collection in his hotel, loans works to museums worldwide and is planning for a private museum.

Claiming that he liked curating mini exhibitions in his head that sometimes makes no sense to the outside world, he shared with Larry’s List how he spent four hours each day to explore and research on art, why he liked using Instagram for art, and how the art-collecting scene is like in South Africa.
