A Poor Collector’s Guide to Buying Great Art

Norwegian art collector Erling Kagge explains what an emerging contemporary art collector should and shouldn’t do: who to hang out with to develop the acquisition talent, when to buy and sell, how to stay ahead of the curve, and, generally, how to buy art if you don’t have a lot of money.

Erling Kagge is a Norwegian collector with thirty years of experience, a publisher, and a climber. His private collection of contemporary art includes works by artists such as Jan Christensen, Franz West, Richard Prince, Sergej Jensen, Urs Fischer, and Raymond Pettibon.
