Artist as a collector

When an artist becomes a collector, his role in the art world takes on new dimensions. Collecting for artists is not only a way to preserve the works of others, but also a way to better understand the creative process, to study its contexts and elements that can inspire new discoveries. How do artists perceive collecting, and what motivates them when choosing objects for their collections? How do their personal collections become an extension of their artistic practice and a reflection of their unique philosophy and vision of the world?

The dialogue is initiated by the New Collectors Foundation
