The Belgian collector, Alain Servais, started collecting art in the late 1990s. With a strong focus on emerging artists, Alain has built up a significant contemporary art collection which is highly versatile and forward-looking. Alain is also among the first to collect digital art and support young artists by offering residency program in his loft in Brussels where he keeps his collection. One of the most committed and passionate collectors today, Alain spends most of his leisure time visiting museums, biennales, galleries and art fairs, and sharing his insights in the art with his twitter fans.
Here he shares with CoBo his top picked art pieces from Art Basel 2017.

The Nick Cave soundsuits are great (as usual.) The Wang Shang pieces not so sure of though; seem assembled by a committee of people with different ideas (shiny! no, mobile!, no, kinda rock like! no lots of color, more! okay, all of it.)
