Two complementary books explore the multifaceted identity of art collectors. Judith Benhamou-Huet's 'Global Collectors' profiles over a hundred collectors worldwide, both Western and non-Western, through brisk interviews. 'Collections particulières,' edited by Nadia Candet and published by Flammarion, offers another perspective on private collections. The works were reviewed in the context of FIAC, the Paris contemporary art fair.
