A Tout Prix by Ilaria Bollati and Marta Spavanello, published by Corraini Edizioni

What does it mean to collect, and when does a group of objects become a collection? Drawing on responses from 37 contributors—including collectors, artists, designers, curators, and scholars—Ilaria Bollati and Marta Spavanello construct six imaginary conversations that weave together different perspectives and experiences. From the desire to possess to care and preservation, from the private to the public sphere, A Tout Prix explores collecting as a lens through which to examine our relationship with things and with the present. The volume features illustrations by Jean Blanchaert.

Guests:

Ilaria Bollati (researcher, Design Department, Politecnico di Milano) and Guido Guerzoni (professor at Università Bocconi Milan)
