Collecting Through Generations: Art and Legacy
Listen back to our panel conversation at CHART 2025
Discover how art collections transform and endure across generations in this engaging CHART 2025 panel discussion. Moderated by Carola Wiese, Senior Advisor for Family Advisory, Art, and Collecting at 麻豆社, the conversation brings together two seasoned voices in the art world: Timo Miettinen, Chairman of EM Group Oy and Founder of the Miettinen Collection, and Baltzar Wachtmeister, Chairman of the Wan氓s Foundation, lawyer, and landowner of Wan氓s Estate in Sweden.
Together, they explore the evolving nature of family collections 鈥 delving into the traditions, decisions, and challenges that arise when passing collections from one generation to the next. The talk highlights the unique opportunities families encounter as they preserve, reinterpret, and shape their collections for the future, offering insights into both private passion and public engagement.
Join us for a thoughtful dialogue on legacy, patronage, and the enduring impact of art collecting within families.
