Description

Art collectors play a significant role in shaping the contemporary arts and crafts landscape. By purchasing artworks, they not only improve an artist's financial situation but also contribute to the preservation of art for future generations. This collection offers insight into the structures that make artworks collectible, shedding light on how they become available to the public in museums and public spaces. The authors explore collecting from various perspectives, including public, private, and personal, to understand its economic, social, political, and artistic implications. By examining these different approaches, they aim to stimulate discourse within the field of contemporary crafts. This fourth volume in the Documents on Contemporary Crafts series provides critical reflection on the subject, featuring contributions from a range of experts in the field.
