Invisible Collection

Overview

A moving short story that portrays a blind collector who preserves his love for art through memory and emotion. A poetic and silent exhibition unfolds through words, evoking reflections on perception and the unseen value of art.

Pedro Corrêa do Lago

Author of The Invisible Collection’s foreword, Publisher, Writer, Historian, Collector and Curator

Collectors can be egotistical monsters driven by an inner force that only they can understand. They can imagine to be competing against an invisible rival, who is in fact none other than themselves.
