Collections

Collectors are often seen as selfish people who want to own things without giving anything in return. On the contrary, I think that collectors are great philanthropists. They pick up and arrange things, building small, perfect and accomplished worlds of the neglected past, thus gaining valuable knowledge. They are well aware of the fact that what they own will not be theirs forever, because as time goes by others will follow. Intact collections are important for future generations, they represent a real gift to them. And that alone is enough to justify the financial sacrifices and squandering that a collector must bear. “ Serge Brignoni, 1989
