Victor Teicher: Harmonious Passion by Florence Carrie From: Art Tribal - Winter 2003 # 4 The American collector Victor Teicher collects objects such as a musician who strives to create a melodious series of airs. He sometimes temporarily borrows them first in order to take note of their respective resonance within his collection, all in the hopes of uncovering, in this transitory diversity, that one unit that will create the harmony of the whole. |
