Slow Art presentation
To buy a work of art needs attention and time. But the art market imposes an absurd rhythm. In an art auction, the art works are sold at the rate of one per minute. In an art fair they ask you to take decision within hours. Without the possibility of reflection or verification. That's why we want to talk to you about Slow Art. A new way to approach art. Meditative, relaxed, a source of joy rather than anxiety.

Why buying what you like can be very costly
Buying a work of art is an experience that is all too often felt in a purely emotional way. Even people who are usually well informed and aware make their choices relying on instinct when they acquire a work of art. Such choices always run the risk of paying a high price. How, in fact, can the information provided by the seller be considered reliable and impartial?

A million masterpieces every ten years?
Period of crisis? Let’s try to provide the figures.
History has taught us that masterpieces are such precisely because they are rare. That in his own life an artist, even the greatest, produces an extremely limited number of major works, which will be points of reference within his body of work as a whole. And that the works that a society considers exemplary, capable of representing an age, are even rarer.
