From talking about photography photography museum collection
Photography began in 2011 and constantly take a high price, witnessed the photography collection of potential, living writers, for example, in May, Cindy Sherman Cindy Sheman "Untitled # 96" in 1981, for $3.9 million in November, andreas gursky, "Rhein II" in 1999, again a single photo of $4.3 million, 2012, William eger, William Eggleston's 36 early works to digital print output to $5.9 million.
Died with The photographer, photographer, The cheaper price, such as Edward Steichen 1904 The Pond - Moonlight, sold for $2006 in 2.928 million; Edward Weston 1925 Nude, sold for $2008 in 1.609 million; Alfred Stieglitz 1919 Georgia O 'O 'keeffe Hands, sold for $2006 in 1.47 million; Richard Avedon 1955 Dovima with elephants, sold for $2010 in 1.152 million; Eugene Atget Joueur 1898 d 'Orgue, sold for $2010 in 686500; Robert Mapplethorpe 1987 Andy Warhol, sold for $2006 in 643200; Ansel Adams 1948 Moonrise, sold for $2006 in 609600. It shows that photography market is not only active and growing space. In addition to rising prices, photos and negatives stored is not easy, and the problem of image the change of material are photography collection must be an issue, therefore, for collectors, collection the earlier the better.
In 1982, the author go to New York to study photography, often linger in the famous gallery, of ICP, MOMA, the metropolitan museum of art... Have a deep impression and understanding, in order to enrich the photography environment of Taiwan, in 1991 to set up "photography museum" demands and promote, visited Tokyo in 1993 photo gallery, the purpose is to want to photography museum in Japan to establish the understanding of the course, and to study its plan content, because more than a decade in so many photographers touting "set up photography museum" spare no effort, under the spirit of Japan in 1986, complete "photo cultural facilities Settings" plan, Tokyo 1990 photo gallery pavilion finally opened. Gradually to Europe after 1994, such as the French national library, water of the photography department at fort photography gallery, the photography art gallery in Paris, orsay museum, museum of photography, lausanne, Switzerland, France photography museum, the museum visit, and other well-known and Paris in arles international photography festival festival of photography activities, hoping to learn photography museum needs various conditions and understand the detail of image collection. Founded 20 years past, Taiwan museum of photography, finally got attention of the authorities, and hold "photography museum project evaluation", it is expected that the aim of photography museum set up as soon as possible.
I have the honor to participate in North America pavilion of 1991 collection of photography work for the first time, and Taiwan's first large-scale purchase photography works. Taiwan early photographers and collection work, still do not know how to make price positioning, asked to spy on each other, very interesting. Then can unlock the doors of the photography began to be oil painting attention. 1998 north American pavilion more spending hundreds of millions of yuan funds collection Lin oil painting reproductions Shou yi (1916-2011), from 1930 s to 50 s original works and hand-drawn images not only wholesale oil painting complete and unique. Also like zheng SangXi (1937-2011) in 1962 the locomotive of the old portrait painting photos, was only 25000 yuan price, must be bought 10 Wan Yuancai get several years ago, with the portrait painting death of Mr. Zheng, work has become, with its present price must have rising space. North American pavilion oil painting in addition to the 1991 is the doyen, Mesozoic famous photographers work as purchase list, in the collection work direction is: first, in the museum exhibition of photography works at home and abroad. Two famous photographers' work, has not yet been collected. In addition has also made public solicitation works and artists like shaw photos as the theme in a, ask for work. Then art museum in taichung and kaohsiung oil paintingmuseum began to collect photographs. Kaohsiung museum of art (hereinafter referred to as high beautiful pavilion) was held in 2012, "John Tom raw images show of the century", John, Tom, was born in 1871 to record many life portrait paintingimages of Taiwan, is the earliest image record of Taiwan, leaving for Taiwan's most precious history, high beauty hall authorization by the British wellcome library will all work with high resolution digital output, high as theoil painting museum's permanent collection. However the above three gallery
oil painting is given priority to with photography gallery, so to photography cannot be a system for collection, also restricted to the problem of insufficient funds, only starting point for wholesale oil paintingincremental collection, such as North America pavilion is not have budget to collect works every year, more than most has budgeted $5 million a year of collecting funds, have been commendable. Since north American pavilion photography, a total of 1090 pieces, high beauty hall have 606 pieces of photography works, taichung gallery have 923 pieces of photography works. Other units also have a few collections, but no matter on the display or save could not be compared with three big gallery level, is very worrying.
