Passion For Art

Igal Ahouvi is passionate both about acquiring important works of art and about the art community.
He educated himself about art through reading, visiting exhibitions, and collaborating with curators and dealers. He still retains his first acquisition, a still-life of flowers purchased at Notting Hill’s flea market, as a token from his early forays into the art world. Since then, he has built his collection by remaining cognisant of the contemporary art scene and by keeping an eye on its currents and intricate trajectories.

Ahouvi is fascinated by the dialogue between works of art and the audience as well as the ways art interacts with people. He is attracted to works that tend to challenge our understanding and preconceptions of the world, morals, and reality. On the one hand, he enjoys artists who have shaped the discourse of the twentieth century and influenced other artists. On the other, he follows and buys pieces by emerging artists that articulate new ideas.
