Mission
Collector’s Lounge is an exclusive art club founded by Linda Bajare and Valeria Schafer-Curina, two experts with decades of experience in the art market.
Designed for collectors and enthusiasts, Collector’s lounge aims to reinvent the traditional approach to art, proposed by many art clubs around the world, to offer a unique, personal and innovative experience.
Our goal is to support and promote the art market in its many facets, creating a solid community around contemporary art to build synergies between collectors, industry professionals and artists.
The unique Collector’s Lounge program offers art trips, private visits to artists’ studios, previews of exhibitions in the best galleries and institutions around the world and participation in the most important international fairs.
All our activities are distinguished by exclusivity and customization: our members can have the opportunity to network in exclusive contexts and benefit from our Art Advisory services, to discover and acquire the best works available at the best possible conditions on the market, and Art Concierge; by organizing closed-door events in carefully selected locations, both in small groups and individually, we can guarantee a unique and unforgettable experience. Collector’s Lounge Art Club is a space open to all where art is celebrated with enthusiasm and fun.
