The collector: Silvain Guignard
"After 40 years of collecting, in 2022 I was able to bring around 400 objects - mainly scroll paintings, but also folding screens, sculptures, ceramics, etc. - to Switzerland, where they are now stored in my semi-public art space in Aarau.
Many works have not yet been processed in terms of art history and iconography. However, this website should present ten processed objects per month. Thanks to many relationships with dealers and craftsmen in the Kyoto area where I lived, I can also help to fulfill special requests for objects of classical Japanese art
