Description
Summary:In this article, we present the project “Collecting Art: Conversations about Private Collections” developed by the Associação Amigos do Museu do Chiado (Friends of the Museu do Chiado Association), consisting of an invitation to private collectors to talk about their collections. In a dialogue conducted by figures from the artistic and academic fields, this cycle of conversations provides knowledge on the motivations, taste, choices and trends that prevail in current Portuguese private collecting, as well as on the characteristics of the collections and the art market’s fluctuations. This initiative has helped maintain an audience interested in themes concerning contemporary art collecting. It has also drawn collectors closer to the Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporânea – Museu do Chiado, and has made it possible to appreciate and reveal collections which are often entirely unknown to the public.
