Collections Grow: Eras and Media Should Show the Passage of Time

A collection that shows the passage of time in its acquisition. The artworks span different eras and media: a post-war abstract oil painting, a contemporary photograph, a 1960s print, a non-Western wood carving or ceramic piece, and a small new work by a young artist. The framing methods are also not uniform: some are thin metal frames, some are old wooden frames, and some are directly stretched without framing. They share only one thing: the owner genuinely curated them. Avoid: having all works from the same era and style, using a complete set of uniform frames, making the collection look like a decorative set purchased all at once, or including obvious mass-produced reproductions.

一個看得出蒐集時間的收藏。作品橫跨不同年代與媒材:一幅戰後的抽象油畫、一件當代的攝影、一張六零年代的版畫、一件非西方的木雕或陶器、一件年輕藝術家的小幅新作。裱框的方式也不統一:有的是細金屬框、有的是舊木框、有的直接繃框不裱。它們之間只共用一件事:主人真的挑過。避免:讓所有作品來自同一個年代與風格、使用整套統一的相框、讓作品看起來是一次購齊的裝飾組、加入明顯的量產複製品。
