Her father, the late Michel Pastor, was a prominent collector whose holdings ranged from Nicolas Poussin to Fernand L\u00e9ger to Andy Warhol. The younger Pastor came to understand her father through the artworks he selected with great consideration, many of which were kept on display in her childhood home. \u201cMy father had a very personal collection that was a true reflection of his life and personality,\u201d Pastor said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Today, each piece she acquires for her significant cache of contemporary art is chosen with a thought to her own sons, whose daily lives are brightened by the paintings, sculptures, and photographs that enliven the walls of the family\u2019s serene Monaco home. \u201cI hope that the art I leave to my sons will allow them to experience more of the world and understand the times they\u2019re growing up in,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Pastor\u2019s collection features some of the most influential artists of the past century, from Josef Albers to Barbara Kruger to Danh Vo. She also has significant interest in artists working with time-based media and digital technologies, like Jeff Elrod, Olafur Eliasson, and Christian Marclay. Her collection now numbers some 300 pieces, the result of about a decade of collecting\u2014a remarkable feat, given that Pastor is only in her 30s. \u201cI had a limited budget and focused on young artists,\u201d she said of when she first started buying. \u201cArt became a way for me to understand the world and escape from the social constraints I was living in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/ \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   aligncenter size-large wp-image-1234607383 lrv-u-max-width-100p\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shot10-_0241R.jpg?w=1200\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shot10-_0241R.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shot10-_0241R.jpg?resize=400,260 400w\" alt=\"Installation view of a dining nook with light wood walls that read on two walls and the ceiling: 'AWAY FROM THE WIND AWAY FROM THE SUN AWAY FROM THE RAIN AWAY FROM THE SNOW AWAY FROM THE SAND &amp; AWAY FROM THE TUMBLED TUMBLEWEED'\" width=\"1200\" height=\"779\" data-lazy-loaded=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-font-size-12 lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column lrv-u-padding-tb-025\"><span class=\"lrv-u-font-size-14@desktop\">Emilie Pastor owns Lawrence Weiner\u2019s\u00a0<em>AWAY FROM THE WIND AWAY FROM THE SUN AWAY FROM THE RAIN AWAY FROM THE SNOW AWAY FROM THE SAND &amp; AWAY FROM THE TUMBLED TUMBLEWEED<\/em>, 2006.<\/span><cite class=\"lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase lrv-u-color-grey\">PHOTO KATE MARIN\/COURTESY THE ARTIST AND EMILIE PASTOR<\/p>\n<p><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Her first serious acquisition was a cast bronze cow skull by Pictures Generation artist Sherrie Levine. The natural world is the common thread in her collection, but Pastor prefers artists who approach it with subtlety, teasing out its complexities and vulnerabilities, where the connection can be \u201cthrough metaphor, the material of a piece, or the practice of the artist.\u201d Other recent acquisitions in this vein include a sculpture by Vo created on his sustainable farm in Germany, a bouquet by Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, and a delicate papier-<\/span><span class=\"s2\">m\u00e2ch\u00e9 sculpture of an apple core by\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Claes Oldenburg.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Apart from her collecting, she supports artists in her work as vice president of the Committee for Contemporary Creation at Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Art Moderne in Paris, which commissioned 10 emerging artists to produce a short video for the museum as a way to aid artists during the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">In 2015 Pastor and her art adviser, Sibylle Rochat, launched\u00a0<a id=\"auto-tag_concrete-projects\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AtelierAuctionsg\" data-tag=\"concrete-projects\">Concrete Projects<\/a>, an initiative that offers financial support to help artists and institutions stage projects; among them are Hannah Black\u2019s 2019 solo exhibition at Chisenhale Gallery in London and Ne\u00efl Beloufa\u2019s immersive installation at Palais de Tokyo that same year. \u201cFor me,\u201d Pastor said, \u201cConcrete Projects is a way to create an equilibrium\u2014I get so much from the art world, and I want to give something back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source\uff1ahttps:\/\/www.artnews.com\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philanthropist\u00a0Emilie Pastor\u00a0talks about art collecting not as a hobby or an investment, but as a legacy.
