Fabrizio Moretti in conversation with Helly Nahmad, Art dealers and collectors

Moderated by Björn Dahlström, Director, Nouveau Musée National de Monaco

Both collectors and art dealers, Fabrizio Moretti and Helly Nahmad will engage in a joint reflection on their respective careers and visions of collecting. Moderated by Björn Dahlström, Director, Nouveau Musée National de Monaco, the conversation will address the interplay between passion and legacy, exploring how a collector’s identity is shaped over time through family heritage and personal sensibility. It will also consider evolving dynamics of taste and the market, notably through historiographical reinterpretations, alongside the question of transmission, how collections are preserved, recontextualized, and passed on across generations.
