The Frame Collector
Olaf Lemke collects antique frames. He has 2,400 of them, dating from the 15th to the early 19th centuries. He says: “To hang a frame without a picture on the wall — a pure object — that is the ultimate luxury.”
Lemke is profiled in the terrific book Obsessions: Collectors and Their Passions.

To whom it may concern,
I´m looking for a contact with Mr Olaf Lemke.
My friend Frau Margot Luda from Germany asked me to get in touch. My name is Pavel Spelda, I´m a frame-woodcarver in London. Thank you
