FEATURED PUBLICATION
I have a love of art, based on the deeper belief that art is a basic human good, a basic human need. I felt it early on. Art has meaning only when it is a sort of interaction, in communication with the receiver, with the human being. Otherwise, a work of art in itself does not exist, if it is not seen, if it does not interact with a viewer to generate reflection and emotion.
Dimitris Daskalopoulos
The book Contemplations of a Collector: Irini Pari in Conversation with Dimitris Daskalopoulos is a dialogue about art and life between two partners and art lovers: collector Dimitris Daskalopoulos and Irini Pari.
Concept and author: Irini Pari
Starting from the D.Daskalopoulos Collection – about a hundred works of contemporary art by international artists from the past 40 years – the collector and his partner discuss the freedoms and limitations of collecting art, share the lure of artistic creativity, and take us on a contemplative journey through the existential mystery of life, as it is depicted in the artworks of the collection.
The idea for this book began with a conversation regarding the works of the Collection. Conversations dating back three years, gathered in notes, transcriptions, and recordings, have resulted in a structured text divided into thematic chapters.
The book refers to about 100 artworks of the D.Daskalopoulos Collection by artists such as Marina Abramović, Terry Adkins, Kutluğ Ataman, Phyllida Barlow, Matthew Barney, Hans Bellmer, Lynda Benglis, Joseph Beuys, John Bock, Mark Bradford, Louise Bourgeois, Christophe Buchel, Vlassis Caniaris, Paul Chan, Marcel Duchamp, Fischli & Weiss, Tom Friedman, Kendell Geers, Gilbert & George, Robert Gober, Antony Gormley, David Hammons, Mona Hatoum, Thomas Hirschhorn, Damien Hirst, Jim Hodges, Jenny Holzer, Mike Kelley, Martin Kippenberger, Barbara Kruger, Jannis Kounellis, Nikos Kessanlis, Stathis Logothetis, Sarah Lucas, Paul McCarthy, Cildo Meireles, Annette Messager, Robert Morris, Wangechi Mutu, Bruce Nauman, Cornelia Parker, Paul Pfeiffer, Dieter Roth, Doris Salcedo, Kiki Smith, Paul Thek, Keith Tyson, Adrián Villar Rojas, and Bill Viola, among others are featured in the book.
The publication is available at the National Museum of Contemporary art Athens (EMST), the Benaki Museum, the Museum of Cycladic Art and Amazon.
