Sinopse

"Rise of Private Museums" explores the growing influence of privately owned art museums on the global art world. These institutions, funded by wealthy individuals, are reshaping cultural heritage, exhibition practices, and art history itself. The book highlights how the surge in private museums reflects both increased wealth concentration and a desire to shape cultural narratives.

 
Intriguingly, these museums can offer valuable public access to art, but also raise questions about accountability and potential biases in historical representation. The book examines the motivations behind the establishment of these museums, delving into the personal, financial, and social factors driving collectors.

 
It analyzes the impact on established public institutions and the art market, considering how private museums influence art market values and curatorial approaches. The approach unfolds by first introducing the phenomenon, then exploring collector motivations, analyzing the impact on the wider art world, and finally discussing the ethical considerations.

 
Ultimately, "Rise of Private Museums" offers a critical perspective on the intersection of art, wealth, and power. It avoids a simple celebration of art patronage, instead prompting a deeper understanding of the consequences and controversies surrounding private control of cultural assets. The book engages with debates on deaccessioning, the influence of private interests, and the potential for tax avoidance.

    The concept of death can be viewed from different perspectives. In general terms, it can be defined as the end of life, but a more spiritual interpretation would describe it as the separation of the soul from the body. Regardless of the definition, death implies change and transformation, even if only on a physical level. The idea of transcendence has served as a source of comfort for humanity that is usually represented in the belief of an afterlife which takes place in another realm. 
    	Since the beginning of history, understanding and explaining it has been a large concern for people all over the world. Death is both a daily occurrence and an irreversible condition, and countless efforts have been made to avoid or postpone it. The constant struggle to transcend its permanence has led cultures to create the idea of an afterlife; of a place or world where life carries on after its end on earth. In ancient Mesoamerica, this concept of an afterlife greatly permeated the worldview of the many pre-Hispanic cultures that developed all throughout the region. 
    	Among Mesoamericans, life and death were closely related and often deeply integrated, and the two conditions were perceived to exist in an opposition that was at once dynamic and complementary. Described later by the Aztecs as the state of nepantla, life and death were viewed by the indigenous people of Mesoamerica as yet another example of the “back and forth” fluctuations common to human life.

    Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse is a profound exploration of the human psyche, delving into themes of identity, duality, and existential crisis. The novel follows Harry Haller, a solitary and introspective man who sees himself as divided between his human side and his wild, wolf-like instincts. As he navigates a surreal and mystical journey, Haller confronts the contradictions within himself and the societal norms that alienate him. Blending philosophy, spirituality, and psychological depth, Steppenwolf is a timeless masterpiece that challenges readers to reflect on their own inner struggles and the search for meaning in an ever-changing world.

    With an “inimitable voice combined with flawless erudition,” this new analysis of the Aeneid “illuminates its subject with a modern light” (Le Monde). 
     
    From the bestselling author of The Ingenious Language comes a meditation on rebuilding, recovery, and renewal that is also a fascinating portrait of antiquity’s most complex and surprisingly modern hero. 
     
    In times of peace and prosperity, one can turn to Homer to learn valuable life lessons, to experience the thrills and terrors of war, and to read about hair-raising adventures in distant lands. But when things do not go as planned, when we unexpectedly find ourselves at the center of an epoch-defining upheaval, then, writes Andrea Marcolongo, we must look to Virgil’s Aeneas for an example of adaptability and resilience. 
     
    In Marcolongo’s fresh, nuanced portrayal, Virgil’s Aeneas emerges as a multiform, deeply human hero, striking in his vulnerability and capacity for empathy. His journey of rebirth and rebuilding, from the ruins of Troy to the shores of Italy, teaches us that when all seems lost, with hope, perseverance, and a little bit of luck, we can seek and find new beginnings. 
     
    “Marcolongo is today’s Montaigne . . . There is wisdom and grace here to last the ages.” —André Aciman, New York Times–bestselling author of Call Me by Your Name, now a major motion picture 
     
    “A deep look at our all-too-human fragility . . . An impassioned and enthralling book.” —Bon Culture (Italy) 
     
    “Through her personal reacquaintance with [the Aeneid] at a time of great distress, Andrea Marcolongo has brought it, as it were, back into the conversation and outside the confines of academia . . . An excellent translation by Will Schutt brilliantly serves Andrea Marcolongo’s passionate endorsement of a work of literature written two millennia ago.” —Reading in Translation 
     
    “Andrea Marcolongo has brought us a book from the future.” —La Stampa (Italy)
