New York collector, curator and director of Team Gallery, Todd von Ammon, has a private collection teeming with works from artists he knows and loves. “I think people need to accept and embrace the absurdity of the collecting impulse.” He gives us some insights into the mind of a collector and we find out about his herd of lava lamps. "I think people were led to believe that there was investment potential in young contemporary art, but the resounding conclusion is that there probably isn’t! It’s a totally irrational thing to want to have this stuff. I think people need to accept and embrace the absurdity of the collecting impulse."
