| book description |
An intimate glimpse into one of the world’s most renowned contemporary art collections and the collector whose vision and passion shaped it Step inside one of the most captivating private art collections in the world - an extraordinary group of modern and contemporary art curated by Glenn Fuhrman, founder of the esteemed The FLAG Art Foundation, and his wife Amanda. Spanning paintings, works on paper, photographs, and sculptures by both established stars and bold new voices, Fuhrman’s eclectically diverse collection brings together iconic and unexpected works of the past forty years of contemporary art. Each piece reflects a deeply intentional process of selection, shaped by curiosity, emotional resonance, and a deep respect for the artist’s voice. The result is a dynamic, ever-evolving narrative of contemporary creativity - one that captures the zeitgeist while honoring the timeless power of visual expression. Collecting Contemporaries is an invitation into the mind of a collector who sees art not as an investment, but as a life-enriching dialogue. These richly illustrated pages offer a fascinating glimpse at the collector’s mindset and the powerful role art plays in shaping personal and cultural identity. The book also features exclusive conversations between Fuhrman, The FLAG Art Foundation’s director Jonathan Rider, and artist Jim Hodges, as well as a conversation between Fuhrman, the Studio Museum’s curator Thelma Golden, and artist Simone Leigh.
