If you were to start your own collection of works by living artists, who would you include?
“I like the odd ones out, the exceptions to the rule, mainly artists’ artists. They just do what they want to do and have been doing it their whole lives long. There is a show in Maastricht now called ‘Exile on Main Street’ (Bonnefanten Museum) with these kind of artists: Artschwager, Copley, Gianakos, Peter Saul, John Tweddle, H.C. Westermann and others. Strange intriguing works, the artists are crazy. I like that. Maniacs, you know!”
