YB: I wouldn´t call it collecting. Actually, I hate it when I go to these gallery weekends and people ask me if I´m an artist or a collector. I´m neither of the two. We don´t collect, we just buy on occasion, on gut instinct. The focus is definitely on conceptual works and on photography. And then, of course, a personal contact to an artist also plays a big role here—you value their working method or approach, you love the work, and then, at some point, you buy something. Of all the works we have, we know many of the artists personally. At any rate, it´s an important form of contact. But I don´t really see myself as a collector.
