Hi there for 2016,
not coming from a Museological/Gallery/Commercial background, I’m hoping the list can enlighten me on a few basic assumptions and terms..
I'm writing monograph on an jeweller/object maker who has been embedded in scientific research laboratories for the past decade.. -
In referring to her objects/installations/videos etc does “Collection of the Artist” mean:
a) not for sale the - artist holds it dear and doesn't want to let go of it/ is an important part of their development/ has sentimental value etc
b) is available for acquisition/sale - make an offer now...
Im sure thats not quiet the terminology used.
How then does one define objects held in commercial galleries/museums etc that are available for purchase?
or indeed held by the artist for sale?
of does one just not mention it at all and the assumption is unless a museum /private collection is specified, it is available for sale
Thanks a lot..
Melinda
