Welcomed since 2016 by the FIAC, the International Art Fair in Paris, in the prestigious setting of the Grand Palais, at the invitation of its director Jennifer Flay, the Collector’s Edition Box has quickly established itself as a highly anticipated event coveted by contemporary art amateurs and lovers of the brand. The box has stimulated the public’s collecting tendencies and has found its place in the homes of the most demanding of collectors, both individual and institutional. It is displayed on kitchen tables and bookshelves, just as it is stored away from light and moisture in the most secret of warehouses, while banking on the surpassing of its expiration date. For example, the first editions, no longer available, are now very sought after and speculation is high, following market-like logic.

Today, the Bel and Lab’Bel teams are thrilled to continue this project by unveiling the fifth Collector’s Edition Box. They have entrusted its design to German conceptual artist Karin Sander, an artist whose approach they particularly admire. Michael Staab, the commissioner and linchpin of the project remains the curator of this fifth edition. Let us wager that Sander’s proposal, at once playful and impertinent, will surprise and entertain, and hopefully find its place in many homes. Bon appétit and happy collecting!
