Make, Show, and Taste Collections
Collecting art has become a prominent trend, and the collection exhibition by Makoto Takeuchi at WHAT MUSEUM is currently the subject of much discussion. We spoke with him about his relationship with his artworks, how he curates his collection, and how he uses his collection to express his current state of mind.
To consider the value of the arts in relation to the social systems.
Art is frequently examined through the lenses of history and artistic value. However, the role of sociology within art is also crucial, and it must be acknowledged when considering how art is perceived. We recently had the opportunity to interview Dr. YAMAMOTO Hiroki, a curtural studies scholar, curator and artist.

Making Art vs. Collecting Art: Takashi Murakami interviewed by Andrea Neustein
Over the last fifteen years, Japanese artist Takashi Murakami has amassed a unique collection of contemporary art. The collection was first presented publicly in 2015 at the Yokohama Museum of Art in the exhibition Takashi Murakami’s Superflat Collection―From Shōhaku and Rosanjin to Anselm Kiefer and has continued to grow since. Why does an artist start to collect works by other artists? What are the thoughts and feelings behind such a decision?
