Is this the driving force for the art object or is it the underpinning structure of collecting? The collector creates the s/he persona through the collected object. The supposed universality in art is clearly articulated through the wealthy collector. Not that of the visual but of the imagined creation of a representational whole. Choice of value is determined in relation to an imagined social significance. Choice bears the illusion of a false democracy, subverting its totalizing and suffocating nature.
