Mega-collector Dimitris Daskalopoulos gifts over 350 artworks to four museums in three countries:
“The natural ending of this is that I’m gifting these artworks to where they will have the possibility to be seen by a lot of people, and will be better preserved and keep in dialogue with people in the future,” he said. “It’s public museums, nothing else.”
“I’m not an artist. I can’t even draw a square. But this collection is me saying something about contemporary art. The collection is my own creation,” said Daskalopoulos, who also founded thein Athens. “But the collection has to have a future beyond my lifetime, and the artworks have to have a life beyond that.”
The donation also comes with the creation of a network of curators: a new dedicated position will be implemented at Tate, the Guggenheim and MCA Chicago will have a shared new post, and EMST will receive additional curatorial support.
