[edit] Life and career

Nicolai Frahm is the son of Danish business entrepreneur Flemming Frahm who founded Skandinavisk Kaffekompani (the largest coffee company in Denmark until it merged with Kraft Foods in 1989). "Frahm first began to collect for his family's art foundation in Copenhagen, before moving to London, working with high-profile clients whose collections will ultimately become museums in their own right. Frahm helped the UK mega-collector Frank Cohen build his collection, which will be shown at Cohen's new Manchester museum, the FC MoCA Manchester."[1][1] "Despite his young age Frahm is known to have been among the first to discover and collect many important European, American, Japanese and Chinese artists of the mid and late 1990s and 2000s." In June 2006 The Gallery at The Hospital (owned by Microsoft's Paul Allen) [2] hosted an exhibition from his collection of young artists from Los Angeles [3]. In the January 2007 issue ArtReview rated Frahm among the 6 best contemporary art advisors in the world.

  • "There are only so many great works of art. Better to pay the extra money and get a masterpiece than build a collection of names"
