"An art collection sometimes reveals aspects of someone's personality that you would never discover during an ordinary encounter."

Thijs Demeulemeester is a Flemish interior, design and art journalist. He writes among others for the magazines Weekend Knack and the newspaper De Tijd. He has also published several books over the years. On Wednesday November 9th, his latest book Homes for Collectors will be presented at MAD Brussels. Demeulemeester will have a conversation with two collectors about their collection of contemporary art and design, what collecting means to them, what drives them, how they buy and what is the purpose of their collection.

MAD spoke with Thijs Demeulemeester about Home for Collectors, his new book.
