Collection Intervention Host Elise Luray Takes to Syfy
Syfy’s new reality show programming takes a peek inside of the world of the collector with Collection Intervention. Host Elyse Luray, from the PBS series History Detectives and a former Christie's Auction House expert appraiser, helps collectors who are at a critical point with their collections. Elyse shared in more detail what we can expect from the new six-episode series during a press conference call.
This series isn’t exactly the next Hoarders. The collectors have a well-chosen, controlled collection of items. Elyse says the collectors on Collection Intervention aren’t at an unhealthy point with their collection but they are, “out of control either from a monetary or a space point of view.” Collection Intervention comes in and helps get collections in order. Elyse says, “What the show tries to do is to curate, streamline, and focus. So how do you display your collection? How do you curate your collection? How could you get rid of some of the things that don’t add to your collection and at the same time, not let it overtake your life?”
The premiere episode features Star Wars and Catwoman collections. Elyse said, the series also includes “a Transformers collection, a robot collection, a Barbie collection, an underground collection of movies, movie posters and underground art. We see action figures, a big hot rod collection, a GI Joe collection and another comic collection.”
Being a former collector myself, I’m looking forward to seeing how Collection Intervention reforms the collectors and helps them to enjoy their collections without harming their relationships or bank accounts.
Collection Intervention airs on the Syfy network, Tuesdays beginning August 14th.
