Artists and collectors
Cet ouvrage est une galerie de portraits. Il esquisse en creux, de manière subjective et non exhaustive, une typologie du collectionneur. Qui collectionne? Pourquoi collectionne t-on? Qu'est-ce qu'une collection? "Être collectionneur, c'est une profession de foi, et non un métier, un passe-temps ou une plume au chapeau", écrit Pierre Assouline citant la personnalité de Roger Dutilleul, grand amateur de Braque et Picasso. Au fil de ces conversations intimes et singulières entre artistes de la scène internationale et collectionneurs, le lecteur découvrira cet engagement en faveur de la création que tous ont en commun. Nathalie Guiot.

Magnificent Obsessions
Exploring more than a dozen personal collections of contemporary artists, this unique and revealing book probes the aesthetic and psychological dimensions of collecting and shows how objects can influence and reflect their owners' work. A lead essay examines the reasons why artists collect, attempting to understand the relationship between the objects artists amass and the works they make, and contributions by or on each of the artists reflect on the personal significance of collecting habits.
Contemporary Indonesian Art
Indonesian art entered the global contemporary art world of independent curators, art fairs, and biennales in the 1990s. By the mid-2000s, Indonesian works were well-established on the Asian secondary art market, achieving record-breaking prices at auction houses in Singapore and Hong Kong. This comprehensive overview introduces Indonesian contemporary art in a fresh and stimulating manner, demonstrating how contemporary art breaks from colonial and post-colonial power structures, and grapples with issues of identity and nation-building in Indonesia. Across different media, in performance and installation, it amalgamates ethnic, cultural, and religious references in its visuals, and confidently brings together the traditional (batik, woodcut, dance, Javanese shadow puppet theater) with the contemporary (comics and manga, graffiti, advertising, pop culture). Spielmann's Contemporary Indonesian Art surveys the key artists, curators, institutions, and collectors in the local art scene and looks at the significance of Indonesian art in the Asian context. Through this book, originally published in German, Spielmann stakes a claim for the global relevance of Indonesian art.
