CONTRIBUTORS

A Whale of a Time • This past year, ARTnews Top 200 Collector Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza supported a multidisciplinary Wu Tsang project that took Moby-Dick as a starting point. She made sure to acquire one of the works, Of Whales, a video that figured in the main exhibition of this year’s Venice Biennale. With its beautiful images of ocean environments generated using a technology known as extended reality, or XR, the work entranced Thyssen-Bornemisza. “The immensity of the ocean becomes a symbol of the unknown,” she told ARTnews. The piece will travel next spring to Madrid’s Museo National Thyssen-Bornemisza, which her family founded.
