Fascinating, but it would be wonderful to find a video of someone who has not great wealth, who lives in quite simple surroundings but with a lively discerning eye and taste for things that enliven them without spending substantial amounts of money to procure them. That is where we general folk might find some real sense of connection. Otherwise, it's mere 'how the other half' live.
Oh, you'll be surprised how many of these interesting art objects new and antique can be discovered dusty somewhere on a shelf for sale for a few pennies. Money might help to buy some art, but It is most often the eyes for such objects, their placements and the story you put behind them that makes them great
Look up former President of Uruguay, Mojica
Very marxist response. What the artist says is not and should not be for everyone. Not everyone cand say what he says and not everyone could (or should) live like that. At some point in the video his wife even said that she could not live in a minimalistic space i.e. in a general apartment building.
There was a couple in New York who amassed a large collection of conceptual art, he was government clerk, I think she was a librarian, 60 minutes did a cover of them..I'm drawing a blank on their name..
Well you’re watching a video of Alex Vervoordt discussing the curation of his fine art and antique collection on the TEFAF RUclips channel. It seems like you’re in the wrong place if you’re looking for content the general folk can relate to.
Also regardless of wealth, the principles that guide his taste and curation (knowledge of art/design history, tension between old and new, the humble imperfections of natural forms) can be used by anyone willing to implement them.
In a world of such beautiful hand carved woods, natural stone, and art it is impossible for me to be a minimalist. There is usually a story behind my favorite things.
Then Axel & Kanye Designed: “Minimalist Futuristic Belgian Monastery” -Hidden Hills House. I like the airyness and calm. It still has Wabi Sabi.
Minimalism should not be living with the least amount of things but living with things that serve a purpose or give one joy.
Actually I find very enjoyable to see someone of considerable wealth living creatively in beautiful style.
Many of the wealthy live in kitch so at least we see something that inspire.
He’s my favorite curator. And I love his philosophy of finding interesting things - not just beautiful things.
The beauty found in his curation is exquisite.
the best one i've seen in a while. Im gonna watch it again right now
This made me cry. If something is considered less of value or ugly because it’s scratched it was ugly to begin with.
Beautiful. After my mother passed away & my relationship ended. I promised myself that I only wanted to be surrounded by beauty. My definition of beauty is not perfection. There is beauty in pain, aging, and uniqueness. stillness.nature. Thank you for this remarkable well made piece of art.
Sending you love
Art is life, and it makes life delicious

*the last four vignettes of him turning, facing the photographer touched my soul. many thanx.* 🖼👴🏻📹
Beautiful video and words. I'll add that having a place to get out of the weather is a very fortunate circumstance.
Beautiful video and the combination of contemporary and classical art! Thanks for showing us your home and sharing your thoughts about art.❤️

Beautifull life style for this couple of art lovers from belgium, thank you for sharing it!
Il fascino della bellezza e di viverci
BEAUTIFUL --ALL
Absolutely beautiful.
La bellezza dell' imperfezione, il coraggio dell' unicità, il rispetto per la natura e il tempo. Meraviglioso.
This is so beautiful. Where he said about the Japanese aesthetics - it reminded me of who I am, and as a young Japanese, I want to cherish that kind of old spirit and aesthetics as he does. Japan is an island country. People of Japan has historically welcomed and absorbed "new cultures" that came from overseas, and didn't really cherish the "ancient" that we have cultivated. This is so different from western culture. I wish more Japanese people realize the old beauty that lies in their mother culture.
Strange - to me Japan is a country with awe-inspiring tradition, not just in the preservation of culture and aesthetics, but specifically in the art of doing, with many examples of crafts where mastery is still a virtue. I feel in (secularized) western culture there is no longer any connection to the traditions of old and mastery is long rejected in favour of comfort and work-life balance. Sad to hear it is also going this way in Japan. Greetings from Sweden!
@@theodorurhed What you say is true too! As me myself being a traditional craft lover, I appreciate what you said about mastery in Japan. I guess in non-western societies, tradition is vivid and resilient just because our lifestyle is westernized, and we know it will die out if we don't actively protect it. In fact, a lot of traditional crafting techniques are endangered, and are disappearing each day with retirements / passing away of artisans. And it is also true that there are many consumers who wants to be involved in preserving traditions.
Btw, what I meant about Japanese society not cherishing the past - actually relates to our unique conceptualization of "time" here in Japanese culture. In Western conceptualization of time, there is past, present and future, and present is captured in between past and future. In Japan we traditionally have a strong sense of capturing "now, here" only, so time is the eternal continuation the present. Therefore we don't really pay attention to the present in relation to the past. (Btw this is a cultural theory by Shuichi Kato, a famous cultural critic in Japan.)
I strongly feel this difference when I go to karaoke with western people. It made me so jealous when I saw the crowd singing Piano Man altogether! Cherishing past masterpieces (which I rarely see in Japan!). This is what I really admire about western culture. Cheers from Japan!
@@purplea9367 That is very interesting, thank you! To have a culture that would be more concerned about the present is then something I'm jealous of. Sweden's entire national image is that of a lost golden age (a time when life was simple and beautiful and with a hopeful future), with a shame of our present state, and a desperate fight for our future - to regain the imagined feeling of those glory days, while all the while failing to appreciate what we have/are.
There probably is a balance to be found in all this, as I myself feel very ambivalent to the old world. The 1800s cultivated craftsmanship, quality and beauty to such an extent that the era produced some of the finest art, objects and buildings in history, while at the same time cultivating a mindset in the people that would lead to unparalleled suffering in the world.
The tightrope of strict discipline probably needs to be coupled with a softness and ease and appreciation for life and the present for any long term success (which is what I believe I see very much of in Japanese tradition). Lest the harsh discipline, enforced through violence, lead to a cruel and bitter people, as I believe was the method that ultimately failed in the west.
I love art that create their own value that relate to nature, relevant and timeless....
Wonderful work
What a beautiful video and way of looking at things!
I Love Axel's taste
Thank you.
Belleza!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Wabi-sabi. Beautifully imperfect.
Yes, wonderful decorations
Bela coleção! Realmente "esse tipo" de arte é atemporal.
Amazing and inspiring!
Incredible People and Wonderful Space 😊💙
beautiful!
Yeah, we all collected little stones when were young, because we liked it.
Wonderful ❤
Beautiful video
Absolutely beautiful. I think the same way
Beauty to the finest of its imperfection, calm and mysterious, unnerving and humble, universal and timeless.
What?
I been following him for awhile, he's so adorable ❤ extremely talented 😍
Stupendo,
Fantastic
💙💙
Lovely
What a wonderful and inspirational way to think, live and enjoy time!
I would love to visit the castle. I adore and agree with his philosophy.
It's beautiful. And large! I've probably been there about 10 times, both on tours and private occasions.
@@milootje007 Are all the rooms interesting and beautiful?
@@arlinejernigan Yes they are and there's a lot of rooms. There's also a little chapel room in the castle, i attended a baptism of a little boy mutual friends had. They also have a large greenhouse and stables on the grounds, it's much larger than it looks in this video
@@milootje007 Lovely.
For sure Axel Vervoordt has feel for Art, nature and has a very nice Wife. I am sure he admires Isamu Noguchi as an artist.
❤❤❤❤❤🙏
Perfection!!!
Imperfection!!!
Wabi Sabi - Perfectly Imperfect.

I love what he said.. we are the servants of nature, not the rules of nature/god!
Native Americans have always believed this... We are the Caretakers of Earth..not rulers... The Creator made both of us...in His Wisdom.. We care for His Creation.... We must pass this Wisdom to the...Future....
💚💚💚💚
I want to know more information about the japanese architect.
Bravo
Wabi Sabi!
ART
im watching this again...
❤️🌱🌱🌱
Sadly, we can't take anything with us to that place we are all certainly going.
We are only passing here.

My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio 🕺🏼
best comment in 2022 in my memory.
Colour grading is good.
Tanta beleza e tanta miséria, tanta sabedoria e tanta ignorância no mesmo mundo...o mesmo ser humano é capaz de nos causar as mais belas sensações e também as piores...o mundo segue girando
Delicious...
Hi Wolsak.
I think people should make art not fanboy about it
he is rich
No coment
cutie
Arnold Schwarzenegger, is that you?
No, dying is not necessarily a beautiful moment in one's life!
It wasn't for my husband- he pleaded to be saved and cried and cried as he wanted to be with us! And it was painful too!😭
Like the house, not the art!
lol very chaotic tast
About ten or twelve years ago I think Mr. Vervoort lost the plot. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that his work for Kim Kardashian is so empty.
Ehy the poor area people who live day by day scare of death... When they can't even have any of this? Die and reincarnate faster change the whole condition RIGHT?
Does the homeless understand this?
Do the homeless need to understand this? What does that have anything to do with this video? This video is about one person, how they define beauty, and their thoughts on living with beauty.
would you color correct mondrian? all those garish reds and yellows?
one could accuse you of being unfair or even misleading when your footage is obviously color-corrected. why would you do that? colors, real colors of objects, art, how they mesh together is an enormous part of what makes a place harmonious or not and it this man is held as an example of taste, shouldn't the audience be allowed to see with utmost accuracy and fidelity what his living space *actually* looks like, what the colors really are and therefore what constitutes good taste? what's the purpose of this then? if you're willing to edit him, in order to improve him, I suppose, what does that say about the respect you have for him and his taste?
baffling, truly.
Absolutly stunning but also pretentious. Not everyone can own a castle like that.
