People in a conference

Discover how art collections transform and endure across generations in this engaging CHART 2025 panel discussion. Moderated by Carola Wiese, Senior Advisor for Family Advisory, Art, and Collecting at UBS, the conversation brings together two seasoned voices in the art world: Timo Miettinen, Chairman of EM Group Oy and Founder of the Miettinen Collection, and Baltzar Wachtmeister, Chairman of the Wanås Foundation, lawyer, and landowner of Wanås Estate in Sweden.

Together, they explore the evolving nature of family collections – delving into the traditions, decisions, and challenges that arise when passing collections from one generation to the next. The talk highlights the unique opportunities families encounter as they preserve, reinterpret, and shape their collections for the future, offering insights into both private passion and public engagement.

Join us for a thoughtful dialogue on legacy, patronage, and the enduring impact of art collecting within families.
