Collector Talk: Tragically Sunk: Why He Created a Collecting Club and an Art Space in Marseille

nstead of joining the many museums and art foundations in Paris, pharmacist-collector Sébastien Peyret set up an art collecting club Lumière and an exhibition space Atlantis in Marseille, the culturally mixed portal city by the Mediterranean. Started collecting a bit over a decade ago, he is enchanted by what he calls ‘radicality’ in artworks and is contentious to do thorough research on artists he is interested in.

LARRY’S LIST had a conversation with Sébastien Peyret, who explained why he has stopped to be impressed by the notion of “beauty”, his most treasured artwork that he could live with only that, the art fairs he recommended for young and fresh collectors and his latest purchase in Basel this June.
