The Art of Collecting Art is a beautifully curated volume exploring the passion, purpose, and personal stories behind art collections across the world. Conceived by Ann Wikström Mogliani and brought to life through the lens and voice of Peer Eriksson, the book invites readers into intimate conversations with leading collectors, gallerists, and cultural figures shaping the contemporary art landscape.
Through compelling interviews and visual storytelling, each chapter uncovers what it means to live with art, from the thrill of discovery to the emotional connections formed between artists, collectors, and works. The book reveals not only the aesthetics of collecting, but also the deeper motivations: legacy, memory, dialogue, and love.
Featuring voices from both established and emerging scenes, from New York to Berlin, from Mallorca to global art fairs, The Art of Collecting Art offers a plurality of perspectives that reflect the evolving role of the collector in today’s world.
More than a guide or anthology, this book is a tribute to the human side of art collecting, a celebration of its potential to build relationships, preserve stories, and shape cultural futures.
