The massive expansion of the art market in recent decades has aroused much intrigue about how galleries operate, particularly as critics, artists and independent curators take the lead in opening their own spaces, enhancing the appeal of the gallerist's role. The primary function of the contemporary gallerist continues to be the one established by D.H. Kahnweiler over a century ago: that of a ""traveling companion"" to artists, one who nourishes the work's development, recording it and ensuring its optimum passage into the world. But in today's economy, the gallerist as cultural entrepreneur and arbiter exercises a professional hybridity far removed from Kahnweiler's day. Here, Andrea Bellini interviews figures from 51 galleries, including Gavin Brown's Enterprise (New York), Massimo De Carlo (Milan), Greene Naftali (New York), Hotel (London), Kurimanzutto (Mexico), Franco Noero (Turin), Eva Presenhuber (Zurich), Johann K???nig (Berlin) and Vitamin (Beijing), eliciting their views on the complexities of art culture worldwide.

Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. The 51 gallery owners from Europe, the Americas, and Asia interviewed in this book talk about their relationship with artists, what they love (and hate) about their work, the changes the art world has undergone since they started at the end of the 1980s, and thus give precious insights and advice to collectors and up-and-coming players in the field. At this time of an allencompassing hybridization of roles (critics and curators becoming dealers, artists acting as curators, fair managers becoming curators, etc. ), the observations included in this volume provide an extraordinary snapshot of today's art system, reflecting its culture, strategies, and attitudes.
