Ole Faarup on Collecting: ‘Andy Warhol gave me the nerve to collect cutting-edge art’

A visionary Danish collector with a keen eye for talent (including Peter Doig and Chris Ofili), Ole Faarup spent five decades assembling one of Europe’s most dynamic private collections of contemporary art - rich in works made by artists in the early part of their careers. From encounters with Andy Warhol to close relationships with the artists whose work he collected, Faarup followed instinct over convention, acquiring artworks that, as he put it, had “soul”. Hear Ole Faarup, in his own words, explain the passion and philosophy behind his remarkable collection. This October, Christie’s presents highlights from the Ole Faarup Collection, including works by Peter Doig, Chris Ofili, Karin Mamma Andersson, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and more. Proceeds will benefit the newly established Ole Faarup Art Foundation, the primary purpose of which is to support young and emerging artists. 📅 Works will be presented across three sales: – 20th/21st Century: London Evening Sale – 15 October 2025 – Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale – 16 October – Among the Artists: The Ole Faarup Collection Online Sale – 8–21 October
