Martin Kamer talks about the phenomenon that sooner or later things come to a collector when they have to. Kamer has made the experience that an object not purchased at an auction - for whatever reason - will eventually find its way into Kamer's collection. As an example, Kamer mentions a scarf designed by Raoul Dufy. Kamer also recalls a Spanish dress made of pineapple fibre (around 1860). And he talks about auction fever. Very often, he says, he paid more for an object than planned, but in retrospect he knows that it was worth it.
