What Patrons Owe Artists

July 25, 2011 by Marion Maneker

The Financial Times has an interview with British collector Anita Zabludowicz on the occasion of her making plans to create her own art island in Finland as a showcase and residency program for emerging artists. While on the subject of young artists, Zabludowicz makes this observation about the responsibility a collector has toward an artist:

Owning work is a responsibility. You are affecting the lives of artists by buying their work but you also have to mentor the artist. You can’t just leave them. They should have an after-care service. I suppose it’s a kind of a maternal thing – especially with the young ones. Once you buy the second piece, it’s a huge commitment because 10 years down the line we will still be supporting them.
