I want to shine. I want to be a purple cow. I enjoy art. I do not want to be recognized after death. Help me fulfill my last dream.
We are breaking or revising a lot of boundaries. There was, and still is, less interest in collecting global contemporary art amongst my parent’s generation. They are more focused on Chinese antiques or contemporary art of their own nationality, which I think is totally fine and equally crucial. It is just a different approach. In comparison to them, our generation is more eager to reach out to the rest of the world and be in a global dialogue.
Today, I don’t see why one should differentiate between collecting Chinese vs. Western or Contemporary vs. Modern/Traditional. Collecting both is key to understanding art.
The world is becoming a place where distance is increasingly irrelevant. Today, it is so much easier to collect artworks from artist from all over the world than before. I think more collections in China are now covering both Chinese and Western art. As for contemporary and modern art, I like them both. One focuses on the unknown and the other, on history.
an art collector can become an important scholar, and contributing to society.It sounds crazy, but from my hometown hope light in the darkness. I hope my words reach your ears. And you can help me by becoming my art. Thank you. Best regards from Colombia. I do not know what else to say. olunayes@hotmail.com
