On Collecting - From Private to Public Featuring Folk and Tribal Art from the Diane and Sandy Besser Collection - Paperback - 2009

The movement of a work of art from artists studio to gallery, to collector, and to curator sometimes follows a clear and distinct route, easily discernable from start to finish. This book contributes to an understanding of the collecting process and the convoluted courtship rituals involving collectors, donors, museum staff, and board members.
