Karaoglan Art Gallery

Having witnessed the devastating impact of losing art in a fire, Cyril Karaoglan has made it a lifelong mission to relay the message that insurance is a necessity for collectors, not a luxury, he tells Ahmad Minkara.

When marking ‘not be missed’ art exhibitions on our calendars, it’s easy to forget that many of the masterpieces that we’re looking forward to seeing are being show through collaborative ventures with other institutions.

These initiatives, which see galleries and museums borrowing and lending works amongst each other, are a win-win both for the institutions holding shows and visitors who are treated to a richer and more varied exhibition, perhaps providing once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to view works that would be out of reach in their usual home.
