Emilie Pastor.
In their 20s, most people are adorning their walls with movie posters. Not Emilie Pastor. The collector, now in her 30s, began buying art over a decade ago and has since built up formidable holdings ranging from work by contemporary-art pioneers (Francis Picabia, Josef Albers, Barbara Kruger, Lee Ufan) to masters of the future (like Martine Syms and Mohamed Bourouissa).
Based in Monaco, she grew up in a collecting family (her father is the late real-estate magnate Michel Pastor). Now, she collects with her own two sons in mind. Pastor also serves as vice president of the committee for contemporary creation at the Musee d’Art Moderne in Paris and co-founder of Concrete Projects, which offers artists financial and technical support for complex projects.
