What makes a great exhibition?
Editor: Paula Marincola
Philadelphia, 2006

Robert Storr: Show and Tell

"Si la gente lee las cartelas en vez de ver la obra, es la culpa del organizador de la exposición, no la de la gente; el organizador ha hecho las cartelas demasiado atrayentes.

"Todos ya hemos visto a gente en los museos yendo de una cartela a otra sin siquiera echar un vistazo a la obra.

"Los curadores tienen que hacer todo lo posible para evitar esta coreografía cuya resultado es la acumulación de información y la destrucción del arte."


"If people read labels instead of looking at the work, it is the exhibition-maker’s fault, not theirs; he or she has made the labels too prominent, too plentiful.

"We have all witnessed people in museums running up to read a label before stepping back to look at the work beside which it has been affixed, and then move to the next object before ever really seeing the first one for themselves.

"Curators should do everything to interrupt this information-gathering, art-obliterating choreography."

Agnes Martin

"My paintings are not about what is seen.
They are about what is known
forever in the mind."

"We must surrender the idea that this perfection that we see in the mind or before our eyes is obtainable or attainable."

"For those who are visual minded I will say:
there seems to be a fine ship at anchor.
Fear is the anchor, convention
is the chain,
ghosts stalk the decks,
the sails are filled with Pride
and the ship does not move."

"To progress in life you must give up the things you
do not like.
Give up doing the things that you do not like to do.
You must find the things that you do like.
The things that are acceptable to your mind."

El libro es un manual útil para galerías principiantes que comienzan a situarse en el mercado del arte. Explica muy bien las herramientas de marketing que deberían emplear, tanto las galerías como los artistas, para dar los primeros pasos en este campo y cómo hacerse un nombre.

The book is a useful manual for young galleries that are starting to establish themselves in the art market. It explains very well the marketing tools that galleries, as well as artists, should employ in order to take the first steps in that area and how to make a name for themselves.

Queremos compartir contigo lo que inspira a ABA

Let's share with you what inspires ABA

Louisa Buck & Judith Greer

Owning Art, The contemporary art collector's handbook, London, 2006.

Owning Art no sólo quiere clarificar el proceso de comprar y de poseer arte contemporaneo, sino también asistir con consejos prácticos. De esta manera, quiere mostrar lo gratificante que puede ser poseer arte - y no sólo en el sentido fiscal -.

Contemporary art usually confronts you
with what you don't know, what you
didn't know, or what you know in a way that you didn't expect.
Allan Schwartzman, Art Adviser, New York

Owning Art intends to assist and to clarify the processes involved both in purchasing and possessing contemporary art; and, in doing so, to demonstrate how rewarding, not only in fiscal terms, the owning of art can be.
