‘Collecting Art is Like Writing a Biography, Finding a Way to Tell the Story of Our Lives’
León Amitai speaks about his collecting journey and interest in textile art and geometric abstraction
Kristina McLean: I’m very excited to talk to you today. This is a new format that we’re experimenting with at Frieze to create content for our collecting community because, as you know, people love reading about other collectors and what they’re looking at. So, I’m really thrilled that you’ve agreed to participate. Firstly, you work with textiles in your business life, and you also collect art involving fabrics and textiles. Did you focus on textile from the beginning of your collecting journey? Where did it begin?
