LIFECYCLES: Collecting & Collections

This session will draw from Spencer W Stuart's three-part Lifecycles program that focuses on developing fine art collections and private libraries.

Lifecycles covers the complete timeline of a collector and the lifecycle of their collections. It discusses the initial attractions that move one to collect through to the steps one must take to ensure a collection's legacy beyond one's very personal time and place.

What Lifecycles attendees are saying:

"I have been collecting rare books internationally for more than twenty years. Never before has any Collections Professional been able to help me focus on what I have done, what I am doing, and what I need to do with my collecting strategy moving forward. Spencer W Stuart in his series LIFECYCLES: Collecting & Collections has given me a framework for the future of my collection and a whole new way to appreciate, and communicate to others what I have built. Regardless of where you are in the lifecycle of your collection(s,) if you get the opportunity to experience the LIFECYCLES content presented by Spencer W Stuart, you should take it. Your collection will thank you!" - International Book Collector

"I recently attended Spencer Stuart's 'LIFECYCLES' lecture series. It was incredibly helpful as Spencer provided a new way of thinking about collecting with hints on how to think outside the box. It allowed me to look a collecting from a different perspective. He provided organizing principals on how to build, manage and maintain a collection overtime; and how to focus and not get bogged down or overwhelmed by extraneous thinking. The lecture series is certainly more than valuable for both new or experienced collectors." - Canadian Art Collector

"Spencer Stuart is a very articulate and engaging speaker: I marvelled at his ability to present so cogently. It was refreshing to enjoy a clear and sophisticated take on a complicated business. And, I think most of us were surprised that we all had collections of some variety that would benefit from some intentional self-analysis." - Museum Curator
