When Per van der Horst was 13 years old, his father took him to flea markets in their hometown of Rotterdam. „That’s how it all started,“ he says today. The flea market visits increased, and with them, the treasures the teenager took back home. As a young adult, his collection of paintings and objects was already so extensive that it took up most of his apartment. He began to sell some pieces and was surprised to be able to make money from them. Today he owns two galleries, one in The Hague, the other in Taipei.
