This is a personal “art collection.” It’s unapologetically subjective and impenitently non-comprehensive. You’ll probably find interesting omissions and eccentric inclusions.
Many objects pictured are old friends from museum visits. I take photos as visual notes of objects I want to look at further and know more about. I have recently started using Google Lens to find the highest resolution images of and most accurate basic information about the works of art collected on this website. Every artist’s page links to their Wikipedia page, so it’s easy to learn more about them.
Also, building this Imaginary Museum compensates for my limited ability to go and see art in person. Armchair visits are beat the hell out of no visits at all.
Geopolitics likely puts some things forever out of reach. For example, I’m regrettably unlikely to get to The State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg a coveted bucket-list destination.
Aging may rule out more strenuous adventures like Angkor Wat, Machu Picchu, Easter Island…
I hope my journeys are not yet finished, but at some point every traveler reaches the end of the road.
In 1947, André Malraux postulated the existence of an Imaginary Museum. He noticed that photography had dramatically expanded what we can look at compared to art lovers in any earlier civilization.
The Internet enables Imaginary Museums on an unimaginable scale. Software enables building and maintaining a virtual collection. I hope you enjoy mine.
