ON COLLECTING - GLENN ADAMSON LIESBETH DEN BEST...

Art collectors and collections make up an important part of the contemporary arts and crafts
infrastructure. Not only do museums and art collectors improve an artist's financial situation
by buying their work  just as important is the symbolic meaning of the collection. To be
included in the 'right' collection or museum can give the artist a high level of recognition 
at the same time the purchase secures the work a place in a system whose aim is to preserve the
work for the future. Collecting is a selection process which has economic  social  political
and art historical implications and consequences for the artist  the art scene and the public.
In On Collecting the authors look at collecting from public  private and personal perspectives
to shed light on some of the structures that are responsible for how artworks become
'collectable' and thus available to the public in museums and public spaces.
