In the rapidly changing and vastly expanding art world, one thing hasn't changed, however: it is the artist that remains at the centre of the artistic universe. In fascinating and personal interviews, seventeen outstanding contemporary artists reflect on what it means to be an artist today. By doing so, they provide great material to analyse the most urgent questions of the current art system. What artistic values should prevail? How to define the artist when the notions of shaman, revolutionary and bohemian are no longer valid? What is the relationship between artist and their public? How to stay relevant for the artist herself\/himself and for the world?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs artists operate in close connection with curators, collectors, and gallerists, Marta Gnyp has given voice to a few excellent actors from these categories to make the picture more complete: François Pinault speaks about his experiences and his vision of contemporary art as a collector; Anthony d'Offay reflects on artists and the post-war art system from the perspective of a gallerist, while Demetrio Paparoni reflects on the state of contemporary art as an art historian, curator, and critic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to her profound knowledge of the art world as a theorist and as an insider—being an art advisor, collector, and art journalist—Gnyp could engage in deep conversations and, when needed, was not afraid to ask difficult questions. Reading the essay and the interviews, the reader gets a great sense of what artists do and think, and also what are the most challenging issues of our art system in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47384224497900,"sku":"9788857238326","price":105.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/16978873485341.jpg?v=1773404031"},{"product_id":"the-shift-by-marta-gnyp-9788857243962","title":"The Shift","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe new, updated edition of the book on contemporary art and collectors, \u003cem\u003eThe Shift\u003c\/em\u003e, takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the world of contemporary art.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile analysing the motives and behaviour of internationally operating collectors, it explains the current popularity of contemporary art and discloses the unwritten rules, active networks, and persistent myths of the rapidly expanding territory of art collecting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCollectors engage in ingenious ways with artists, galleries, museums, and auction houses while pursuing their passions and goals.
