Why am I watching this.. I can barely afford rent

Although his words say otherwise, he seemed to really be saying to collect for future investment, not for the joy in collecting or the love of art.

Maybe I'm just a stupid hobbyist painter...but this literally reminds me of my college bio professor using as many big words as she could to confuse the entire class and therefore give off the impression she was smarter than she actually was

shopaholism explained: it's all about the purchase, not the item.

the first rule of collecting. Get what you love. The second rule is best to get important artists while loving the piece, if you can afford them. I did that 20 years ago staring with Salvador Dali, an artist addition lithograph, hand-signed. My next purchase was a Pablo Picasso etching, one of 50 hand-signed. next was a Miro lithograph also hand-signed. The latest are two wonderful pieces by Marc Chagall, which are my favorites and least expensive. Kind of tells you money is not everything when it comes to a piece of art you fall in love with.

i can relate to this, i collected many collections from IKEA

About money not art.
-
What a disgusting view of philanthropists
-
These people have no idea what art is
-
Unique pieces from iconic artists. Iconic being celebrity status pushing a real message.
-
Some collectors collect for the love others know it can be leveraged as an asset. No shame or hurt on either side just different ways of approaching the art market/collecting
-
Wow!

Ah yes, the common mistakes that the average person makes when handling their family’s significant art pieces during estate planning. WSJ is truly the paper of the people.

" ..... is trying to do ........Impart a real love of collecting withing their family".....TRUE and important dialogue relating to these issues....

The piece at 2:26 immediately made me think of the painting from Ghostbusters II of 'Vigo the Carpathian'.
