Titled “Beyond the Global Boom: Private Art Museums in the 21st Century,” the publication identifies 446 institutions specializing in modern and contemporary art founded by private individuals with limited or no public funding. About 80 percent of them were established this century, according to the report. Germany leads the global count, with 60 such institutions, followed by the U.S. (59), and South Korea (50). China established 30 such entities in just nine years, the study says.

Is art restitution coming to an end? 📰 This interesting question is being explored in an article by Hanneloes Pen. 💡I personally share the opinion of Inez Schelfhout, psychotherapist at ARQ Centrum'45, Netherland’s National Psychotrauma Centre for victims of war and violence, who is not in favour of setting an end date for restitution, based on her professional experience: “Getting the looted art back can be healing. With restitution, the dehumanisation of the parents or grandparents can be lifted, so to speak. It gives them a connection with their murdered relatives and their family history that they often don't know or were never talked about. [...] For even a seventh or eighth generation, restitution can be important in processing their trauma".    What is your opinion on this topic?     You can find the English translation of the article here: https://lnkd.in/eWmKiM5s   #ethics  #culturalheritage  #artmarket  #artlaw

Aga Khan Museum building itself speaks eloquently to concept of light and is an ideal venue for an exhibition on Light: Visionary Perspectives which celebrates our Museum’s 10th anniversary. In his letter (excerpted) to Fumihlko Maki, on 3 January 2006, His Highness the Aga Khan articulated his vision: "For the Aga Khan Museum, Light might be the concept around which you could design an outstanding Museum. The notion of Light has transversed almost all of human history, and has been an inspiration for numerous faiths, going as far back of course to the Zoroastrians and their reverence for the Sun, to the Sura in the Holy Qur'an titled al-Nur (the light). Decades of Western history are referred to as the ‘Enlightenment' for good reason." “I hope that the building [of the Museum] and the spaces around it will be seen as the celebration of light, and the mysteries of light, that noture and the human soul illustrate to us at every moment in our lives.* Light would be an appropriate design direction for the new museum and this concept is of course particularly validated in Islamic texts and sciences: apart from the innumerable references in the Qur'an to light in all its forms, in nature and in the human soul, the light of the skies, their sources and their meaning have for centuries been an area of intellectual inquiry and more specifically in the field of astronomy.” [Source: Philip Jodidio - Under The Eaves Of Architecture - The Aga Khan: Builder and Patron]

A Still Life, a series of still-lifes 2022-2023 is finally on view at TABLOO. The show is up from September 1st through November. Below is the statement and poster. For Ria Vanden Eynde, painting a still life is a way to find and express meaning and value in the everyday things around us. Ordinary objects such as dishes in the sink, items that remind us of deceased parents and grandparents, the objects they left behind and found beautiful, and things we use when we meet family and friends – in short, objects that carry an emotional weight. Painting still lifes in this way is an act of care and dedication, where time, energy, and effort are invested in the portrayal of these subjects. It also provides an opportunity to engage with humble objects, to experience a moment of contemplation, while striving as an artist to create a painting that explicitly conveys the emotional value and quiet beauty of the depicted objects. It is, of course, no coincidence that Ria Vanden Eynde worked on this series in the aftermath of the pandemic, a period that made us all ‘slow down.’ As an artist, this translated into an increased focus on the visual and communicative potential of objects we use every day, sometimes discard, and often overlook. The daily act of washing dishes, for example, inspired her to create a series of abstractions. She found it amusing to reference a quote by Kiki Smith: “You can have fantasies about having control over the world, but I know I can barely control my kitchen sink. That is the grace I'm given: in this way, you keep an open mind.” In this way, the works became personal records of that time, reflections on what she herself finds valuable and 'beautiful' in her life: attention to the small and everyday things, connections, and family ties. Ultimately, she expresses what connects us all. https://tabloo.be/en
