It’s no surprise that, with the massive popularity of Art Basel Miami and pop culture’s constant fascination with art, interest in this area has risen at a steady crescendo over the years to a fever pitch. But long before today’s mainstream culture professed its love for the art world, Marla Wasser was out searching the corners of the earth for the rare gems that would enrich her client’s lives. In many ways, her company, Pursuits Inc., is just that — a boutique advisory and curatorial firm in pursuit of the world’s most special pieces for the sole purpose of uniting them with their rightful owners, her clients. Think of Wasser as a guru. One that can teach you a thing or two about growing a collection that you’ll actually give a damn about.
