Collecting 2.0Post an Event »

Curators, gallerists, collectors, and advisers come together to discuss the nature of collecting photography in an Internet 2.0 age. With access to seemingly infinite numbers of images, how do collectors distinguish among works and artists? Does the Internet enhance or detract from experiencing and collecting art? These and other questions will be discussed as we look at how an entirely new generation of artists and patrons travel the world, both physically and electronically, in pursuit of art. Moderated by Darius Himes, Assistant Director, Fraenkel Gallery. Panelists include Chris Perez of Ratio 3 Gallery, gallerist Sabrina Buell, and esteemed collectors. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition The Radical Camera: New York's Photo League 1936-1951. COST/REGISTRATION: FREE with admission of $5 after 5pm; Advance tickets encouraged. About Contemporary Jewish Museum: With the opening of its new building on June 8, 2008, the Contemporary Jewish Museum ushered in a new chapter of engaging audiences and artists in exploring contemporary perspectives on Jewish culture, history, art, and ideas. The facility, designed by Daniel Libeskind, is a lively center where people can gather to experience art, share diverse perspectives, and engage in hands-on activities.
