For the second year now, Arterritory.com has been presenting at the viennacontemporary art fair a public talk with a collector of Baltic art while, at the same time, introducing the team’s latest issue of the magazine Arterritory Conversations with Collectors, which is in its fourth edition by now.
Last year, contemporary art enthusiasts gathered to hear the public conversation between Irene M. Gludowacz, a Vienna-based curator and communications expert, and Riivo Anton, the Estonian art collector.
The main figure in this year’s public talk was the Lithuanian art collector Vilius Kavaliauskas; in conversation with a curator, he spoke about the most critical processes taking place in today’s Baltic art scene by focusing on the theme of “The collector’s role and influence in the region”. A point that the talk touched upon, as an example of a collector’s responsibility these days, is the founding of the Lewben Art Foundation, which Kavaliauskas was instrumental in the establishing of and now heads; the organization’s initial goal was the recognition of Lithuanian artists in the diaspora, collecting their works, studying them, and ultimately, bringing them back to Lithuania.
