Multimedia art is here to stay whether we like it or not. Prestigious universities are offering it as a major, international biennales are full of it, museums are constantly exhibiting it and many important contemporary artists of today are producing it.
As art collectors, my husband Lito and I are very open to multimedia art. It provides an exciting and fresh dimension to our collection, keeping it current and dynamic. We find that older people are fascinated by it and younger people totally connect to it! It is the result of the natural evolution of art as it mirrors society. In fact, artists throughout history have always been engaged with the technological developments of their time. Today, we see contemporary artists using multimedia approaches to push the boundaries of traditional art in order to express themselves in this high-tech age. Art history would be incomplete without encompassing multimedia art. Thus, I strongly believe it’s worth collecting.
