Loren Holmes’ Post

Nice shout out in the local newspaper, Cambridge Day, for my exhibition, "Picasso: War, Combat and Revolution" that opens today at the Harvard Art Museum. Timely? Yes! Fascism concerns today ? Yes! Bombing of innocents today. Yes! The importance of artists and artists especially today to address these horrors! Yes! The exhibition will be up through May. Text below reads: the "... exhibit explores key themes of Guernica, the dictator Franco, broader imagery of death, symbolic struggles of good and evil, revolution of various types and issues, and issues of desire and capture."

Your body has given up its life inside me, for a time your arms surround me; these same clinging branches are cut down and fall tomorrow, and such is the destiny of all things kissed by the sun.

What sets apart a great exhibition from the rest? Is it the choice of artworks, the layout, or perhaps the curator's unique perspective? Join me as we explore the elements that come together to create a truly remarkable exhibition. I have been reading 'What Makes a Great Exhibition?' Edited by Paula Marincola with brilliant essays by Mary Jane Jacob (Making Space for Art) and Jeffrey Kipnis (Who's afraid of gift-wrapped kazoos?) https://lnkd.in/eVAHCnMt

 🤔 Who are the new generation of art collectors? The new generation of collectors are frequently misunderstood. At Avant Arte we know them well and wanted to change that. We believe firmly in the potential this community has to support the art world. So, we spoke to 1,500 of our collectors. Here’s what we found. Read the report: https://lnkd.in/e2ZFpYnB

“90% of the new generation of art collectors don't believe that the art world is welcoming or inclusive. While most describe it positively as inspiring, thought-provoking, enriching, and innovative, they still have their concerns with the art world: 1 in 3 believe the art world is elitist 1 in 4 describe it as pretentious 1 in 5 believe it is intimidating" (Source: Avant Arte, "Collector Report 2024)  🤔 ✨ Embracing the Next Gen of Art Collectors: Without a doubt, it is time for the traditional art market and its participants to begin embracing the next generation of #artcollectors. However, it is also critical to truly understand the differences in their #values, #collectingmotivations, and #buyinghabits.   🔍This new generation is undoubtedly redefining the narrative surrounding #artcollecting. Motivations go beyond mere art appreciation or investment in the pursuit of true #connection and #impact. #Ownership takes on new and varied forms, and status is no longer a primary driving force. Instead, authenticity, personal #resonance, and #socialresponsibility have a significant impact on their collecting motivations.   💡💥In this dynamic environment, adaptation is key. So thank you 🙏 , Avant Arte, for providing such valuable information about today's new collectors, as well as this insightful #report👇, which will undoubtedly contribute to the #sustainability of our industry. 🎇   #nextgenartcollectors #artmarketresearch #report #collectorsperspective #futureofcollecting #knowyouraudience #innovation #artandtechnology #futureoftheartmarket
