Synopsis
"My collection is decidedly personal, because I chose to make it that way. But I'm a person like any other."
This film was made over a period of 8 years. The collection is seen through a series of exhibitions in different locations, including the Guggenheim in Venice and the museums of Bilbao, Gubbio, Sassuolo, Biumo. The film contains interviews with many of the artists involved, including Lawrence Wiener, Phil Sims, Lawrence Carroll and Winston Roeth, and reconstructs the story of Panza's life and career as a pioneer of contemporary collecting told in his own words.
