Evenings with collectors at the New Museum
Why do they care ? What values they see in art?
One evening a week . 1 protagonist . Story about a man and his choice.
The program goal is to promote the idea of collecting and shaping the values of contemporary art in human life.
Goals: to show the human factor in deciding collector. What is more important in collecting : personal interest , curiosity or naked calculation ?
In the program you will learn:
• what major work has not yet bought the founder of the Russian club collectors of contemporary art Pierre Brochet
• why the founder of the first public museum of contemporary art in St. Petersburg Chekhoyev Aslan does not love those who repeat the achievements of other
• Is it true that a heart surgeon Michael Alshibaya believes that every artist should see at least once a heart operation
• Dr. Valery Natalenko saved all of Mikhail Kulakov
• Why Michael Opengeymu support artist from the Guinness book
Finally, the time came when there was a Russian middle class , able and willing to acquire and create art collection . There was a time when it was possible to compensate for the impoverished dissident past our creative intelligentsia advent of high-grade art market.
But the situation is the lack of specific artistic criteria and clear pricing stops collecting process , which in our country and so is in its infancy due to historical reasons and the lack of tradition.
No traditions , but merit of individuals is still there. Their names are well known to all : P.Tretyakov , A.Kulikov , S.Schukin , I.Ostrouhov . Thanks to these people next generations have the opportunity to see works of art in our museums .
Nowadays, in most cases, these collectors were those who bought recently and despite their difficult life situations , solely for the love of art. And now they continue to do so at a new stage of their financial capabilities . What about the others who can afford it, why are they not willing to acquire works great contemporaries ? Apparently, the answer lies in the value system of these people. They just did not include in its picture of the world Art
So, we see that in any inhumane conditions make decisions real collectors . These are the people who in spite of that they know what they want, trust your gut and are willing to fail .
Collectors , patrons and collectors are only a few who saw the real value of art in their lives. We meet with these people and be able to ask them questions .
The main thing in the collector - this is what he clearly sees the system and the direction of his collection. Collecting involves identifying , collecting , organizing materials , and what it fundamentally different from the simple gathering ..
Our evenings we meet with collectors who repeatedly fired , forming his collection , but have not lost the desire to collect , acquiring new knowledge and experience .
We learn :
Which means the integrity of the collection , as it is formed ? Listen whether experts or rely on your knowledge ? How painful disappointment in his own choosing ?
Who needs whom more : the artist or collector collector artist. Codependency or partnership
Whether minor art object become a masterpiece , being close to the works in the collection of world-class ?
Which is more important in art investment choice or the heart?
Appears if the collector sense of responsibility to the history of art for their own choices ?
How does the market for the acquisition of works in the collection of the world ?
