Bianca Frölich (38) grew up surrounded by art and antiques. With father Ed, art dealer in Enschede, she went as a child regularly on "treasure hunts", scouring Europe for special art objects. From him she learned to look carefully, to distinguish fake from real, to appraise and she gained knowledge of people. "That's something I never forget. Real father-daughter days. That's very dear to me". 

As a teenager she was allowed to run one of father's antique stores in Ootmarsum. But after a while the world beckoned and Bianca exchanged Overijssel for Boston, Sydney, London and Jakarta where she gained knowledge in real estate, western and eastern art, but also in sustainable development aid and climate change. 

Art always remained Bianca's greatest passion and in all the continents where she lived she learned something about the history and culture. "What I love most about my profession is that every object has its own unique story. The history of the artwork, but also of its owners."

Bianca now buys art on commission for individuals and companies. "The encounters with very special people, the engagements with them and the objects I find for them, is the most special thing for me.
