Why not starting a personal Collection ?
Photography is the most collectable of all the arts.
Photographs are cheap, plentiful, easy to store and available from a broad
range of sources. There is no better way than with photographs to learn to
exercise connoisseurship and express your own individual sensibility.
The common attitude is that collecting any kind of art is the province of rich dilettantes who have both money and time to waist, not to mention a vast and encyclopaedic knowledge of all things art-historic. That's wrong. I've seen outstanding photography collections put together for next to nothing, by people who started out with no more knowledge than average.
You may also think that any self-respecting photography collection must contain the great chestnuts that are reproduced repeatedly in the standard history books (Jeff Wall's transparency, Freidlander's selfportrait, Arbus's Mae West portrait, Avedon's portrait of his father). Also nonsense! Don't collect what other people like, or what everybody already agrees is great. Where's the fun in that? It's been done. Devising the principles by which a collection can be unified into an entity that is greater than the sum of its parts is a creative venture in itself, and very much part of the fun.
Got a favorite subject? That's the easiest way to start. I know one collector, an architect, who collects 20th century photographs of buldings; another, photographs of photographers. A friend of mine takes Fr 5,000 and buys himself one photograph on his own birthday every year. You might think that's an intolerably slow pace, but he's got 10 now, and his living room is an interesting little museum.
I plan to make
some proposition available to send by mail. Please, be patient, thank you
again.
