Wandering through Tiqui Atencio Demirdjian’s blue-chip trove of pre-Columbian, Latin American, and contemporary art, one may be surprised to find that the only thing she loves more than collecting is conversation. While the Venezuelan-born, Monaco-based collector had been exposed to fine art at a young age (at 17, she received a Bernard Buffet painting as a wedding present from her father) she has embraced collecting as a lifelong education informed by the very best teachers—top collectors, gallerists, and institution leaders. In her 2016 book, Could Have, Would Have, Should Have: Inside the World of the Art Collector (Art/Books), Atencio Demirdjian gathered advice from more than 80 notable collectors. Her new book, For Art’s Sake: Inside the Homes of Art Dealers (Rizzoli) focuses on an even more elusive group of collectors.
