Young Collectors Circle

Collecting with his partner for the last ten years, Claus Busch Risvig has definitely caught the collecting bug. Their collection which currently includes over 300 artworks, is fast becoming one of the most important collections of emerging contemporary art that Denmark has to offer. Claus Busch Risvig didn’t grow up with art, and yet, the Danish collector ended up devoting his life to it. Be it online or in real life, he shares his contemporary art collection with people from around the world, determined to initiate dialogue around art and show the rest of the world that collecting art is not just for the few.

Being able to purchase a beautiful work of art online changes the entire experience of buying art. The trend to persue and buy art online has only continued to rise over the years and has boomed during the past few months with the current covid-19 crisis.

The rise of online art platforms has lowered the threshold of collecting art. Increased pricing transparency, variety, and efficiency are major pros of purchasing art online. Catawiki carries out online auctions on a weekly basis throughout very diverse categories, ranging from 17th century paintings to street art. In this masterclass you will learn more about how the online art market works and gain useful tips and tricks on how to collect art online.

*This masterclass is part of a paid partnership between Young Collectors Circle and Catawiki.

For years, Laurence Aëgerter has been immersed in her visual research on the power of images. She questions the process of perception and investigates various strategies to activate the spectator. One of her most treasured areas of research are great icons of art and culture; they accumulate in museum catalogues as well as 'found images' via online search engines.

JOIN
To accommodate as many members as possible in a safe way, we divide this visit into two sessions. The first talk is scheduled at 1PM and the second one at 1.45PM. You will hear which group you have been assigned to after registration.

Our programs are continuously adjusted based on the measures of the government and RIVM. Face masks are mandatory during all our programs and participants are asked to fill in a health check in advance.

Can you collect art without an overflowing bank account? Does it matter if you don’t know anything about art history? We will delve deeper into the neurological reason why we love pretty pictures and explain why contemporary art can make us view the world in a different light.

This mini masterclass is for non-members and lasts approximately 30 minutes. After signing up via the ‘deelnemen’-button below, you will receive a confirmation email with the login and password to participate.
