Celia Sredni de Birbragher (Founder and Editor of ArtNexus and art collector), in conversation with Marisol Argüelles (Director of the Museo de Arte Moderno, MAM).
A key figure in the construction and international visibility of Latin American art, Celia Sredni de Birbragher speaks with Marisol Argüelles about collecting Latin American art, exploring the transition from the editorial gaze to that of the collector. What changes when one moves from observing, writing, and analyzing to acquiring works? How does editorial experience influence the process of acquisition? This dialogue addresses the place of Latin American art in global collections, the relevance of publications such as ArtNexus in its visibility and in the promotion of collecting practices, and the value of knowledge versus intuition in building a collection.
