Lukas Jakob

Just in time for the opening of this year’s Art Basel in Basel, art collectors Lukas Jakob and Fabian Kluth discuss the passion of collecting art and what it truly means to own a work of art. Where did Lukas begin his journey as a collector? What were the first pieces he acquired?But above all, the conversation explores how art can create value beyond itself and contribute to society. Lukas recently presented parts of his collection at the Villa Merkel in Esslingen — we talk about the inspiration behind the exhibition, his fascination for the artists, scale, and public space. And, ultimately, we speak about the grief carried even by heroes.The conversation is in German.one.
