HOW TO INVEST IN ART

The collector and patron Valeria Napoleone, Martina Batovic, the UK director of Dorotheum auction house, and Lisa Schiff, the art adviser for the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, share their

insights into how to build a collection.

1 ‘Collecting is personal – you should only buy art that is meaningful to you. Seek out pieces you are passionate about.’ vn

2 ‘Take some time learning and looking. Don’t ask somebody what you should buy. Slow down and you’ll find your eye.’ ls

3 ‘Never underestimate the power of art that is on show for free. It’s equally important to see good and bad art, because the more you look, the more you start to see the difference and understand what resonates with you.’
