A passion beyond colecting.

The author takes us for a visit to collectors homes, and allows us to have a look at their private assembly of objects, paintings and sculptures they are passionate about. We can view the art in its context, we can see the juxtaposition of objects and furniture as these are being used by its owners, without pretending, revealing more than just the art. We get a glimps at the interior design and decor layered just as life puts them together. Only real collectors can possibly understand the mania they are infected with, not being able to resist amassing
the fetishes of their desire.

The lure of the hunt, the thrill of the chase, that peerless moment of discovery when dream and ideal meet in a single object?this is the collector?s world. To the collector, the world is her oyster, full of hidden pearls ready to be plucked and shown to greatest advantage among the other spoils of her obsession.

ELLE DECOR is pleased to bring you an unprecedented glimpse of some of the world?s most intriguing collections. But not just any collections: in these pages you?ll find opulent assemblages distinguished by their rarity, eclecticism and, most of all, by the style and flair with which they?ve been incorporated into the home setting. Art and antiques experts, designers and couturiers, world travelers, artists and entrepreneurs have generously opened their doors to give us a rare view of the collector?s world. Nowhere will you find the collector?s passion more gloriously illustrated; all the inspiration you need to start gathering those objects of desire for your own home.
