The city of Vienna has a remarkable history of collecting that dates back centuries. Taking their lead from the Imperial court, successive generations of families amassed works of art and other objects with a passion and dedication unsurpassed in Europe.
COLLECTIVE is an independent endeavour that intends to nurture and encourage a new body of active and committed individuals within the city who seek to build serious collections of depth and distinction. Through principled guidance and a private introduction to art and the art market, COLLECTIVE aims to promote the collecting of art by private individuals - and in so doing, to support artists, galleries and museums both in Vienna and abroad.
Membership of COLLECTIVE is by invitation and restricted to a small number.
