By Christiane ElinSyfy’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?”
