VERANDA 2024 Art Trends
For 2024, industry experts predict that collectors will lean toward taking more considered risks, opting for artworks that are bold in both personality and subject matter. Audra Kiewiet de Jonge, founder of Art/artefact, explains that collectors today want their art to evoke feelings of wonder and discovery.
She says, "I think more than trends specifically, people are embracing the thrill and marvel of collecting unique and special objects and art across categories and periods. A sort of Wunderkabinett (cabinet of curiosities) approach that feels at once historical and thrillingly fresh and new."
LUXE San Francisco
A reimagined guest experience even more aligned with Opus One’s luxe vintages. And, before wine tasting among pieces from the Rothschilds’ art collection can begin, guests are now welcomed by a monumental five-panel installation by Rosalind Tallmadge that luminously dresses the walls of the entrance rotunda. “Her work has direct connections to nature in the organic materials of marble dust, mica stone and gold leaf while also celebrating the power of the human hand to leave a mark,” shares art consultant Audra Kiewiet de Jonge, the mind behind the serendipitous match. “It embodies the Opus One ethos.”
