An exciting, unexpected, and beautiful encounter with one
collector’s deeply personal assemblage of works. Since the 1980s,
Mickey Cartin has assembled a remarkable collection of objects and
art—Renaissance and modernist paintings, master prints,
sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, and more. Exploring the theory
behind collecting art and how Cartin’s approach to collecting
diverges from common practices, this publication offers a unique
perspective on an intimate practice. Unconcerned with hewing to
specific categories, time periods, or media, Cartin’s
collection—which includes the likes of Josef Albers, Sol Lewitt,
and Forrest Bess—creates active combinations and disrupts
homogeneity, privileging the drive of curiosity. A documentation of
the celebrated exhibition Seen in the Mirror: Things from the
Cartin Collection at David Zwirner, New York, in 202, this
catalogue includes additional artworks from Cartin’s trove along
with views of his home, conveying how he lives with these various
types of work. Cartin selected each work in the exhibition and
catalogue as a reflection of his deep connections with the many
artists represented therein. The conversation between Cartin and
David Leiber illuminates the tensions between study and instinct,
reading versus experiencing, as well as the influences and figures
that inform his personal, curatorial practice. With an introduction
by the curator of the Cartin Collection, Steven Holmes, and a text
from the art historian Luke Syson, this inspiring volume is a
spirited investigation of a very different method of and approach
to collecting.
