is considered among the 200 world top collectors. With her husband Richard, of the same eclectic approach focused on the idea of \u201cartificial\u201d, she has gathered together hundreds of artworks, including masters such as Peter Breughel, Gustave Moreau, Johann Heinrich Fussli, Katsushika Hokusai, Arnold Bocklin, Alfred Kubin, Ren\u00e9 Magritte, Hans Bellmer, Gustave Dor\u00e9, or Matthew Barney, most of them hanging on the walls of the couple&#8217;s residencies.<\/p>\n<p>A selection of 120 pieces from this unique collection is currently on exhibition in Venice, including a nice canvas from a follower of Hyeronimus Bosch, a copy from Archimboldo, and some pieces not attributed yet but for this reason not less interesting: and that is the point. In the case of the Dreyfus-Best&#8217;s collection even a minor work becomes a fundamental passage for the story which the collection embodies. A story that is not the one of a classic \u201cwunderkammer\u201d, but that of human weaknesses, fears, dreams, ambitions and desires.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An exhibition reveals the art collection of Richard and Ulla Dreyfus-Best, masters collectors between contemporary art and art from the past centuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6819,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1796],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mapping-the-artscape"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6813"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6813\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
