AA Team Show & Tell
We get a look into collections all the time but I’m sure people are curious about our own collections. Time to share some pieces from the team’s personal collection. So let’s see it! Favourite piece, how did you get it and why is it so special to you? 🖼️❤️
I’ve asked a friend and amazing ceramist Cyril Debon, to make a portrait of my English Bulldog Rothko. This is my favorite artwork ever, I can’t stop smiling when I look at this very kitsch and lovely piece. It is sitting next to another piece of the same artist in our library. Cyril is obsessed with frogs, they are his signature pattern, on the back of my Rothko there is a frog resting and reading the paper, this is just too much fun 🐶

Timeworn spirits (diluted fate #1), Monika Grabuschnigg, 2021 (Glazed ceramic, exorcism oil and fiberglass wick).
My absolute favorite: I love how it turns one of the most common pair of shoes into a goth and strangely mystical artefact (The glazing is of a rare mix that gives the clay a dark metal finishing while the burning wick is soaked with exorcism oil). This piece was given to me by the artist for my birthday shortly before I leave Berlin. Whenever I need to think or simply feel a bit down, I just light the wick and let the room fill with the smell of ancient witchcraft. This weird yet terribly powerful ritual never fails at cheering me up!

Always loved art but never really collected before working at AA. This Matsu was the first piece I got, love his more abstract work!
