Philippe Hoerle-Guggenheim shares insights on challenges faced by contemporary artists as well as new opportunities through the use of technological innovation.
"My love for art was passed on to me by my grand-mother and my mother. Both avid collectors, they instilled in me great admiration for the old masters, endless curiosity for the new and an insatiable appetite for the treasure hunt. Our house in Bonn, Germany, was always open to artists. There were visits to painters' studios, trips to museums and constant art talk at the dinner table. I didn't develop a formal education in art, I developed an instinct and a passion for it at a very young age. After graduating from Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, I went on to work as a financial analyst for Ernst & Young as well as The Hyatt Corporation and observed how trends move and impact our increasingly fast-paced society. During that time, I kept very close ties with the art community, hosting private events in the US and Europe. And as the art world became more dynamic, I found myself wanting to follow my own aesthetic compass and explore the incredible potential for renewal and audacity offered by new social interactions, digital technology and pop culture. This is how I came to create HG Contemporary at a captivating moment in art history. I feel truly lucky to be a part of it and built lasting relationships with some of the most provocative and raw talents of today."
