Private Lectures on Collecting Twentieth-Century Design
Collecting twentieth-century furniture and decorative arts has become one of the most exciting fields in the marketplace today. A whole new generation of young and serious collectors is willing to pay top dollar for such stars as the postwar designers Carlo Mollino, George Nakashima, and Charlotte Perriand, or for the work of contemporary designers such as Israeli-born London-based designer Ron Arad and the Brazilian Campana brothers. This lecture brings insight in to this growing field of art.
