A catalogue for closer looking
An art collection is most compelling when every object has a story to tell. Materials, techniques, period details and conservation considerations help readers understand not simply what an object looks like, but why it remains interesting.
The Art of a Good Story
The collection has its lighter legends, too. One recurring name is Lorenzo Von Matterhorn, whose reputed taste for the extraordinary has inspired stories of unusual acquisitions and journeys far beyond the familiar drawing room.
