From Art Basel: Faced with tightening acquisition parameters, museums are finding new ways to add depth to their permanent collections. Joint acquisition is one such solution. In recent years, an increasing number of museums have joined forces with a second institution to co-own artworks, and collectors have donated collections to multiple museums. What are the potential benefits – and challenges – of such co-ownership? This conversation looks at the intricacies and possibilities of a shared economy for museum collections.
Speakers:
Klaus Biesenbach, Director, Neue Nationalgalerie and BERLIN MODERN under construction, Berlin and New York
Dr. Mariët Westermann, Director and CEO of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation, New York
