Download or read book The Private Collector s Museum written by Georgina Walker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-17 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Private Collector’s Museum connects the rising popularity of private museums with evolving models of collecting and philanthropy, and new inter-relationships between private and public space. It examines how contemporary collectors construct museums to frame themselves as cultural arbiters of global distinction. By exploring a range of in-depth contemporary case studies, the book aims for a more complex understanding of the private collector’s museum, assessing how it is realised, funded and understood in a broader cultural context. It examines the ways in which this particular museum model has evolved within a historical Western tradition of collecting and museum-building, and considers how private museums will endure alongside their public counterparts. It also sheds light on the shifting patterns of collecting, such as the transition of personal art collections into the public sphere. The developments are situated within the wider context of private–public engagement in general. Providing a new analysis of philanthropy, public access and the museum, The Private Collector’s Museum is essential reading for scholars and students interested in the private museum, and key reading for those interested in related issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mund, Lippen, Zunge und Zähne – Sprache, Schmerz und Schrei – Essen, Schlingen, Speien und Spucken – Lust und Leidenschaft: Die Mundhöhle ist im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes eine äußerst reizvolle Körperzone. Ihrer Erkundung haben sich dabei nicht nur Wissenschaft und Medizin gewidmet, Gleiches gilt auch für die Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte – von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart. Diesen breit gefächerten motivgeschichtlichen Pfad verfolgt das Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg im Herbst 2020 erstmals in einer umfassenden Ausstellung rund um den Mund. Der begleitende Bildband bietet mit seinen anschaulichen Essays nicht nur inhaltliche Vertiefungsebenen an, sondern reicht weit über die Ausstellung hinaus. Hier wird der Mund mit seinen Fähigkeiten auch im Bereich der Filmgeschichte, Ethnologie, Literaturwissenschaften und Architektur unter die Lupe genommen.
Download or read book Art Wealth Management written by Alessia Zorloni and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-19 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an overview of how to manage private art collections, providing essential insights on art wealth management, art investment, art governance, and succession planning for art assets. It offers practical recommendations on sound art collection governance, but also examines the background of art markets and price building, including the influence of fashion and trends. Throughout history, art patronage has played an important role in the wealth of ultra-high-net-worth families and led to private museums funded by philanthropist collectors in order to celebrate their own tastes and leave a lasting legacy. Today, as a result of the growth of art investing by a new generation of wealthy collectors, not only artists but also wealthy families, sophisticated investors and their close advisors now face a more complex set of financial and managerial needs. As such, the contributions in this book will be of interest to collecting families, family offices, and professional advisors seeking to integrate art into their overall wealth management strategy, and to scholars in the fields of cultural economics, art dealers, curators, and art lovers.
Download or read book Global Undergrounds written by Carlos López Galviz and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rest your eyes long enough on the skylines of Delhi, Guangzhou, Jakarta—even Chicago or London—and you will see the same remarkable transformation, building after building going up with the breakneck speed of twenty-first-century urbanization. But there is something else just as transformative that you won’t see: sprawling networks of tunnels rooting these cities into the earth. Global Undergrounds offers a richly illustrated exploration of these subterranean spaces, charting their global reach and the profound—but often unseen—effects they have on human life. The authors shine their headlamps into an astonishing diversity of manmade underground environments, including subway systems, sewers, communications pipelines, storage facilities, and even shelters. There they find not only an extraordinary range of architectural approaches to underground construction but also a host of different cultural meanings. Underground places can evoke fear or hope; they can serve as sites of memory, places of work, or the hidden headquarters of resistance movements. They are places that can tell a city’s oldest stories or foresee its most distant futures. They are places—ultimately—of both incredible depth and breadth, crucial to all of us topside who work as urban planners, geographers, architects, engineers, or any of us who take subway trains or enjoy fresh water from a faucet. Indeed, as the authors demonstrate, the constant flux within urban undergrounds—the nonstop circulation of people, substances, and energy—serves all city dwellers in myriad ways, not just with the logistics of day-to-day life but as a crucial part of a city’s mythology.

Since 2008, when the inaugural exhibition opened in the converted bunker, more than 300,000 people have visited the historic building dating from 1941 in Berlin's Mitte district. In the GDR, it was repurposed as a storage facility for tropical fruits. After the fall of the Wall, it became the legendary techno club "Bunker." The book documents Christian and Karen Boros's collection of contemporary art in the unique ambience of the bunker in sumptuous installation shots and offers an introduction to the works on view.

Book excerpt: This volume explores twelve house museums, created over more than two centuries, and founded across the globe.

How have house museums’ collections or buildings evolved over time? Must museums reinterpret their collections to remain relevant to contemporary and diverse audiences? In seeking to answer these questions, the volume’s authors share the unique stories behind the creation and evolution of these fascinating institutions, and the intriguing stories of the exceptional individuals who founded them.
