A breath of fresh air on "Bares für Rares": 48-year-old Anaisio Guedes joined the team of dealers on the popular ZDF rummage show on Monday and will be a regular in future.
The Hamburg gallery owner has had an eventful life. He wrote about it in his autobiography "No Risk No Chance".
Guedes was born in 1975 in the Brazilian state of Ceará. He grew up in the jungle in a mud hut on the Amazon.
His family was so poor that he didn't even own a toothbrush. At the age of five, he caught fish alongside giant anacondas, and at ten he had to flee from his uncle's murderers. Guedes only attended school for a few months. He later taught himself to read and write, reports "focus.de".
Guedes was selling chocolate at the age of 12
At the tender age of twelve, Anaisio Guedes started his own business. In the Brazilian metropolis of São Paulo, he did not sell art, but chocolate. He told the "Hamburger Morgenpost" that he used it to feed his family. When he supported his father financially, he went bankrupt.
At the age of 17, Guedes appeared in a TV commercial with racing legend Ayrton Senna. Just two years later, at Christmas, he emigrated to Brussels and worked there as a barman. In Brussels, he fell in love with a woman from Hamburg and followed her to her home country. There he learned German and later completed a commercial apprenticeship.
At night school, Guedes caught up on his A-levels and later studied economics: "I spent 15 years catching up on everything," he told the newspaper Welt.
A big step followed in 2016: he opened the "Arte Gallery - Das Kunstkaufhaus" at Hamburg Airport. The gallery is the only one at an airport in Germany.
"Bares for Rares" debut went quite well
Anaisio Guedes' TV debut on "Bares für Rares" went quite well: the Hamburg native with Brazilian roots bought a wall plate from Günther Uecker on Monday. The painter, who is best known for his nail paintings, is his favorite artist. Guedes already has a work by Uecker in his gallery.
The new dealer paid 350 euros (340 francs) for the wall plate on "Bares für Rares".
