Bottega Veneta’s Post

🎨🖼️ During times of uncertainty, the #art market tends to prefer time-tested pieces like classic #landscapes.

Converting the desire for works of art into real-life connections, ArtContext_e is an advisory on all aspects of acquisition, exhibition, curations, conservation, and patronage. With a long-term perspective on making, managing, and mediating art collections, Malina Corpadean and Anne Roger share an expansive sense of taste activated within a variety of mediums and markets. Beyond and including considerations of investing in art, the advisory's mission is to explore and delight clients, collectors, and audiences at the intersections of artistic/corporate, ephemeral/permanent, timeless/current, showing/collecting, observing/owning, buying-for and belonging-to. Whether in its multidisciplinary projects, public endeavours, or private consulting, the duo provides bespoke and empowered results using their capacious outlook, soundly researched connections, and a shared objective that starts with knowing where art works.

🎯♟️One cannot help but be intrigued by the strategies underlying major art acquisitions. Prominent collectors transcend mere purchases; they actively shape the art market and, by extension, our cultural legacy. At the highest echelons, collectors play an essential role in financing exhibitions, lending works, and making donations to museums. Their influence impacts the standing of artists and the programming of cultural institutions. Art collectors titans are not only industry moguls on Forbes rankings but also patrons of museums and magnificent art foundations. They also promote artists, market dynamics, and the perception of French culture, like Bernard Arnault and François Pinault do, in the contemporary artworld globally. However, this phenomenon warrants contemplation. In an era where cultural access is paramount, and considering the actual complexity of geopolitical landscapes, one must ponder: Do these private collections obstruct public access to art, or do they contribute to its preservation? #ArtCollectors #CulturalLegacy #ArtWorld https://lnkd.in/g3MER9Tu

“The ‘modern’ in American Art is, more often than not, multiple contemporaneous moderns, different expressions of the modern with distinct sources and intentions. But whatever their differences, each expression was made possible by changing perceptions of what constituted art, the forms it could take, and how and by whom it might be created. This shared foundation is the focus of this year’s conference.” –IAC President Lisa Koenigsberg on Multiple Modernities, Initiatives in Art and Culture’s 28th Annual American Arts Conference. Targeted to collectors, gallerists, museum professionals, and academics/anyone interested in exploring American Art, the conference will explore artists such as Mary Cassatt, Arthur Dove, Georgia O’Keeffe, Beatrice Wood, Ben Shahn, and Man Ray, specific approaches and contributions to the modern by Black and Indigenous artists, and the dynamic interplay of different regional expressions of the modern in the 20th century. About IAC’s American Art conference, Marty O’Brien, president of the O’Brien Art Foundation, observed: “I have been attending for 25 years. The networking at this longstanding event is invaluable and there is really no other forum out there devoted exclusively to American art.” Each conference, he added, “is a unique, deep dive into an entirely different facet” of American Art. The conference will be held at Heritage Auctions’ newly expanded Park Avenue Gallery. Explained Aviva Lehmann, Heritage Auctions’ Senior Vice President, American Art, New York, “Heritage Auctions, the largest auction house founded in the US, believes deeply in the significance and value of American Art, and we are thrilled to be hosting the conference. American Art has been, and continues to be, uniquely modern and at Heritage, we delight in this notion.” #initiativesinartandculture #nycevents #americanmodernart #beauforddelaney #georgiaokeeffe #benshahn

Art is about connection and dialogue. Collecting art also fosters relationships. It bridges the gap between individuals, communities and cultures. Art galleries, exhibitions and museums are meeting points where people engage in dialogue, share perspectives and celebrate creativity. Through art, we create connections that transcend borders and enrich our collective experience and inspire change. Artists notice something that most of the world doesn't, but it exists. Their works challenge norms, provoke thought, and stimulate conversation. Collectors play a vital role in acquiring and preserving artists' work and promoting their visions. In this way, they contribute to the history of contemporary art and shape the cultural landscape. At its core, art is a timeless tradition—a record of civilization and a beacon that guides us into the future. Art is a celebration that unites time, attitudes, history, people and the world, the essence of which is one, the totality of its parts, creating a new quality. ---------------------- #artcollector #collectart #collection #artinvestment #art

As an art curator, one of the essential techniques I employ is establishing symmetry within the exhibition. In my current exhibition, "Unveiling the Journey: The Art of Duncan Ebedes," symmetry has been thoughtfully integrated as a curatorial approach. But why is symmetry so impactful? Here are three key benefits that visitors experience when symmetry is used in the display layout of artwork: 1️⃣ Enhanced Visual Harmony: Symmetry creates a balanced environment, allowing visitors to connect more deeply with the art without distraction. The flow of the exhibition feels natural and cohesive. 2️⃣ Improved Navigation: A symmetrical layout guides visitors effortlessly through the space. It creates a rhythm that makes the journey through the exhibition intuitive and enjoyable. 3️⃣ Elevated Emotional Impact: Symmetry can evoke a sense of calm and order, enabling a more profound emotional response to the artwork. This intentional arrangement helps amplify the stories each piece tells. In "Unveiling the Journey," symmetry isn’t just a design choice—it’s a tool to deepen the connection between the art and its audience.

I have selected this work for the offer "Behind the Masks of Utopian Joy", which will be held at Chili Art Gallery (13-15 Dimofontos Street, Thissio) from Thursday, 22 February to Saturday, 2 March 2024 and online via ARTgrid, for a month. I have four works to choose from. Two of them will be selected to be put on display during the exhibition. The works are available in 5 hand-signed prints on museum-quality materials. I'm very interested in the exhibition's theme: what's behind the overly optimistic masks. What do we use to mask or reveal our thoughts/feelings? 1. Grey Scarf 1.

Feb 2024 "One really basic problem that we have as humans is that we came up with this idea or this concept of dichotomy between human nature and non-human nature. We are humans, and we do culture. We are intelligent. Everything else that is there on the planet is not intelligent. Everything on the planet is nature, and we are kind of excluded. And this led to a kind of misunderstanding or a kind of misperception of this planet where we are living on, where basically, in the end, everything is interconnected." The above excerpt is from the exhibition video for our current solo show Game of Life by Andreas Greiner, on view through 17. Feb 2024. Greiner is known for integrating art and science in intricate, multi-disciplinary presentations and an artistic practice that often extends beyond gallery confines to encompass projects in public spaces and the natural environment.
