F or more than 50 years, Mimi and Filiep Libeert have cultivated an extraordinary collection of contemporary art—bringing together artists from different generations and focusing on a diverse range of materials. From bold sculptures to vibrant paintings, the collection reflects a deep and passionate engagement with art.
A recurring theme throughout their home is reflection—expressed through both conceptual ideas and physical materials. Artists like Olafur Eliasson and Rashid Johnson use mirrors and reflective surfaces to engage viewers directly, while others, such as Elmgreen & Dragset, explore the passage of time and perception. Gerhard Richter’s work adds a powerful layer of introspection, blurring the line between observer and artwork.
Opening a new chapter in their ongoing journey through contemporary art and presented by The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, 40 significant works from the Libeert Collection will be offered for auction this June at Sotheby’s London.
