Art collecting need not be something only for the higher echelons of society. According to Lim Wei-Ling, founder and director of Wei-Ling Gallery – a successful contemporary art gallery in nostalgic Brickfields in KL – art collecting can start small, and it is something anybody with an interest can partake in. I managed to speak with the striking and passionate Lim after her art lecture, “Demystifying Art: Collecting and Investing” at the E&O Hotel this February, where she ardently dispensed some timely advice on art collecting and stressed on the importance of nurturing young artists.
