How do you identify an artist whose work you would like own in your collection?
What do you look for in an artist?
What catches your attention in a piece of art?
Where do you look for art?
Where do you find artists?
Are art “hot spots” more convenient than creative?
Does location define artists or should artists define a location?Thank for your time,

Anxious for answers to all questions, should prove educational.
ReplyDelete1) I like his/her work. For me, "art" should spark positive emotions.
ReplyDelete2) Autenticity.
3) When it sees the same world from a new point of view. To say the same old stories, we have the news. To say new stories from the same old reality, we have artists.
4) Everywhere, mostly in the common life, the common work of the common people.
5) Sadly, reclused in their own "ghettos".
6) I think art made for the sake of art itself, most of the time is convenient. Art made to communicate, entertain, or even profit (in the case of chefs, for instance) is more creative.
7) Neither. An artist is an artist by him/herself. Location is just a way to showing off.
Excitement...the power to possess..and the knowledge that it will be a winner all the way...but may I add that Saatchi has made some huge errors...and he is now getting rid of some of his stock....no one remains a pandit for very long....there are highs and lows...it is the graph of life..

ReplyDeleteThese are presumptuous questions because it would take a book to answer each one of them. If you want to learn about contemporary art, begin by reading, Art in Theory 1900-2000, then progress to Meyer Schapiro, Buchloh, Robert Storr, Yves-Alain Bois, and Harold Rosenberg for a start. A real beginner like you might also benefit from The Shock of the New by Robert Hughes. Attend museum exhibitions of important artists and read the catalogue essays. Familiarize yourself with the top galleries in the major art cities, look at their roster of artists, find and read publications on them by competent scholars. After three or four years, 100 shows, twenty books, a hundred essays, and intense scrutiny of the works themselves, you will begin to be able to answer these questions yourself, but you will have only begun. If you have no talent for it, or if your interest is superficial, it will take longer.
ReplyDeleteAnything, anywhere; if it can make the flow of your thoughts pause for a relatively longer period of time, that's it. The longer the better.
