Artist as Collector
Featuring 50 personal artwork collections by 50 local artists, this catalogue by Comma Space 逗号空间 accompanies the exhibition ‘Artist as Collector,’ which explores the relationships between the artists and their peers in Singapore. Through archiving the personal stories of how an artwork has been acquired by a fellow artist, the book offers a unique view of art about life.
Stories include why artist Gilles Massot acquired the artwork of late Lee Wen as early as in 1996, how artist Lim Soo Ngee was gifted a ceramic artwork by the late Ng Eng Teng after working as his assistant during his younger days, how artist Shirly Koh was attracted to purchase Rifqi Amirul’s test print via Instagram and many more.
