In this episode, we explore the rise of “collection capitalism,” where value is driven by rarity, provenance, and stories rather than mass production. From luxury goods to Renaissance art, we examine how this system redefines art markets, museums, and cultural narratives. Discover the motivations of collectors, the role of institutions, and the tension between art’s cultural significance and its commodification. This conversation uncovers how collection capitalism shapes our understanding of art, value, and the objects we treasure.
