Lost in the Moment That Follows. The Ovidiu Sandor Collection

Product detailed description

​

The catalogue for the exhibition Lost in the Moment That Follows features written reflections on the Ovidiu Sandor Collection, based in Timisoara, and provides insight into the complex processes of collecting contemporary art through interviews with the collector. These textual contributions are complemented by a broad range of visual materials outlining the collection’s structure, which traces Romanian artistic practices, movements, and ideas—from the historical avant-garde to the present—that have significantly contributed to reflections on our recent shared history.

This publication serves as a unique case study from Southeastern Europe, demonstrating how a collection’s operations can enhance local art production conditions. In Ovidiu Sandor’s case, this occurs not only through acquisitions of Romanian artworks but also via the vision and activities of his Art Encounters Foundation, an open platform connecting Timisoara with the global contemporary art scene.
