Art collectors and their 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, but their collections also have symbolic
meaning. To be included in the right collection can give an artist
a high level of recognition; at the same time, the purchase secures
their work a place in a system whose aim is to preserve art 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. On Collecting
is the fourth volume in the series Documents on Contemporary
Crafts. The series is published by Norwegian Crafts and offers
critical reflection on contemporary crafts, seeking to stimulate
discourse within the field. With essays by: Glenn Adamson, Liesbeth
den Besten, Paul Derrez, Eivind Furnesvik, Margaret Wasz, Trude
Schjelderup Iversen, Gunnar Kvaran, Knut Ljogodt, Nanna Melland,
Yuka Oyama, Anthony Shaw and Petter Snare.
