The situation is quite common: it all begins with the desire to acquire a work of art to complement the home's decor and lend the space an air of sophistication. One work leads to another, until the person finds themselves the owner of a collection, with no more space on the walls and furniture for new pieces, now that the need to decorate has been supplanted by the pleasure of engaging with art in a systematic way. What to do, when there is nowhere left to put the pieces acquired?
Unfortunately, most collectors leave this "small" detail for when there is no more room for the collection. Works bought earlier lose their place on the wall to new pieces, and end up leaning against a wall in another room that serves as a storeroom, but at risk of damage from poor storage conditions.
Why keeping a property just for the collection does not add up
In the past, collectors kept properties solely for the storage of art, but that is far from the smartest solution, as the museologist Maria Ignez Mantovani explained on the podcast Tá Seguro.
For those who also see their collection as an investment, or are aware of the importance of preserving each piece for its value as a testimony of exceptional human creation, there are safer paths to explore.
