Alexa Bruun Rasmussen
Inside the mind of a Collector
7
Having grown up surrounded by art, an-
tiques, design classics and collectibles, Alexa
Bruun Rasmussun has a deep understanding
of their compelling appeal. After considering
a career in theatre, Alexa studied the auction
business in Paris, London and Munich before
joining the auction house founded in 1948 by
her grandfather, where she is the third gener-
ation at the helm. In addition to her involve-
ment with nearly 100,000 lots they feature for
auction each year, she pursues her passion for
food, film, fashion and travel. Backstage be-
hind the podium, Alexa shared with us her in-
sights on collectors.
Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers attract collec-
tors in a range of categories, from art, an-
tiques, modern design and jewellery to books,
coins, wine and more.
What do these different people with different desires
all have in common?
