<p>Collecting art can be something of a love affair. In our latest installment of 'Meet the collectors', Art Basel visits passionate Brazilian collectors Mara and Marcio Fainziliber. Artworks by <a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/artist/6938/Louise-Bourgeois">Louise Bourgeois</a>, <a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/artist/7301/Beatriz-Milhazes ">Beatriz Milhazes</a>, <a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/artist/8500/Seth-Price">Seth Price</a>, and <a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/artist/6940/Tracey-Emin">Tracey Emin</a> fill every nook and cranny of the couple’s home overlooking Rio de Janeiro’s world-famous Ipanema Beach. For the Fainzilibers, collecting is both emotional and rational – but above all, it’s something they do together. ‘If we go to a gallery, at the end we ask each other, “Which artwork do you like most?” And it's exactly the same artwork,’ says Marcio.</p><p>Film: delaFuente<br />Production: João Luz<br />Director of Photography: delaFuente<br />Camera Assistant: Ovelha<br />Sound: Irla Franco<br />Edit: Lucas Cainã</p><p><strong>Art Basel</strong><br />Executive Editor: Coline Milliard<br />Senior Editor: Alicia Reuter<br />Video Commissioner: Jeanne-Salomé Rochat<br />Creative Producer: Akiel Gallina</p>
