Most museum represented artists are already quite established and are more than often not within everyoneвЂ™s budget. I also learned how important it is to surround ourselves with poignant works of art and wanted to share this with a wider audience. I became incredibly passionate about building art collections that can convey a deeper meaning and that challenge our understanding of the world. Art collections are in essence a reflection of time, history and socio-political matters that are presented in the most poetic manner and are far from being didactic. I really enjoyed learning about the importance of building a national collection that has longevity and reflects the dynamism and criticality of the contemporary art world. I worked at the Tate for 8 years and was part of a team of curators responsible for acquisitions and collection displays. Tell us about The CollectorsвЂ™ Edition and how you started it. We spoke to the curator about her unique curation process and building collections. The platform makes it possible for younger collectors to build art collections that have substance and investment value. The CollectorsвЂ™ Edition strives to revitalise the societal impact of art and to build and affirm its educational value. She translated this passion into The CollectorsвЂ™ Edition, a carefully curated selection from acclaimed artists. Leyla Fakhr of The CollectorsвЂ™ Edition aims to change this, providing museum-standard artworks at an affordable price point.ДЇakhr specialised in acquisitions of modern and contemporary art at Tate and found herself drawn to art from the Middle East and North Africa. Yet, very few of those patrons have a collection of their own. Museums draw millions of visitors each year, each hoping for a glimpse of evocative art pieces. The former Tate curator and founder of The CollectorsвЂ™ Edition talks about her favourite Middle Eastern women artists and thoughts on the importance of collecting museum-worthy art.
