Antique Collectible Memorabilia

Collecting obsessions have, since the beginning of civilization, led their devotees to beg, borrow, and steal -- and sometimes even to murder -- in order to possess the objects of their desire. The passion for collecting still runs unmistakably throughout modern times -- whether following the theme of shoes, Americana, fairgrounds, or musical instruments, the assiduous building up of each collection fulfils the urge to have all possible forms of one defined genre. "Obsessions examines the extraordinary phenomenon of collecting. A brief and entertaining history of the collecting mania from ancient times reveals both famous and almost-forgotten collections of the past. The main part of the book looks at some of the most passionate and eccentric collectors of the present day, with collecting strands of antiques, art, natural history, or modern eccentrics.

With specially commissioned photography by internationally renowned Deidi von Schaewen, "Obsessions offer a unique glimpse into the world of collecting, revealing bizarre assemblages in little-known places, and fabulous hoards in the secret and inaccessible worlds of the great private collectors.
