No passions! Gardilanne possessed them all melted into one alone, the passion for collecting!

“I’ve collected [glass] tomatoes for over 25 years. I have many, and no two are alike. Initially, I was buying them for educational purposes — I wanted to pin down the evolution of different techniques. Compared to the recent ones, the oldest tomatoes are extremely light, with detailed textures and veins that make them look real.”
— Pierre Rosenberg, the collector.
