RIP Michel Cohen aka collection_montparnasse, by Charlie Bronson on Jan 31, 2024 17:42:26 GMT 1, I didnโt know him personally, but his Instagram was something I liked to visit every day. Not sure what happened, but it seems like heโs passed away. I know heโs been talked about here several times, having such an amazing collection. Life is short, act accordingly. RIP.

Some people like to leave art to institutions etc, so it was likely not a disrespectful comment. |

Thank you for being such a strong compassionate human being, but understand the comments next time and offend less, because at the end of the day, you are the one that looks like a stupid.

Who cares about materialistic shit like art at this time. im sure his family have a passion for art and will continue to collect but its hardly a priority for them now ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ Listen, mother Theresa, I said it was sad news, canโt you read? I didnโt know the guy. I bet everyone in his family is saddened about the loss, as any other family when someone passes away. As he was a vivid collector and as his collection was one ofthe biggest posted on social media, I think itโs natural to think about where all that art will end. It also leads to some more sophisticated conversations about how worth is collecting and how ephemeral are earth possessions and collections if we all gonna die, etc. But not the right place and time. Thank you for being such a strong compassionate human being, but understand the comments next time and offend less, because at the end of the day, you are the one that looks like a stupid. |

RIP Michel Cohen aka collection_montparnasse, by from mjolnir on Feb 1, 2024 12:02:01 GMT 1, I was always in awe of his collection on Instagram, really loved his posts. Can anyone share any reading material on his background, and how he entered the arts / grew his collection? Would have been a really inspiring guy to know

*** EDITED *** So I'm being told (see below post from Briggs 74 ) that's it's NOT the same person. I could leave my initial post so it clears up any possible confusion or delete it if felt necessary by those who said here that they were very close to the (other) Michel Cohen who just died. You tell me...
"I don't know for sure if it's the same person, and I don't know what's the truth on this story either, but I was once shown this BBC story when I first asked about this impressive collection indeed ..."
"Michel Cohen was a high school drop-out who rose to become a top art dealer. He sold paintings by Picasso, Chagall and Monet to Americaโs elite. But after running up debts, he swindled his customers out of more than $50 million and then went on the run. The FBI couldnโt find him, but filmmaker Vanessa Engle tracks Cohen down and persuades him to tell his extraordinary story."
