In the Telegraph Cinema lecture series Collecting Contemporary Art, you will learn from successful and emerging collectors what impulses led them to the need to own art artifacts, especially from contemporary artists. They will reveal how they build their collections and what their criteria are when selecting specific works. They will tell you about the moments when they behaved rationally when buying, as well as the cases when they mindlessly bid on a work at auction just because of the need to be its sole owner. The lecture series is aimed at laypeople with an interest in art and collectors who are wondering how to value their collection or create a remarkable and unique collection.
The first speaker was none other than Robert Runták, founder of the Telegraph and owner of one of the most extensive collections of contemporary art in the Czech Republic.
