As The Marciano Foundation opens in Los Angeles, we look at 11 exceptional private collections open to the public — from a chain of art malls to a museum built into a rock face

The private collection-turned-public museum may not be a new phenomenon, but it is one that keeps growing. Museums grab headlines with splashy new buildings by star architects or impressive renovation projects of historic industrial buildings. But beyond their often-impressive exteriors, each private museum functions as an extension of its founder’s personality and taste, in how the collection is presented, and how the museum engages with its surrounding community.

Artist Jim Shaw has a cold. Curator Philipp Kaiser is jetlagged, having just flown in from Venice, Italy, the night before.

Documenta 14 is so vast, dispersed, and enigmatic, that it is literally impossible to experience all of it (not to mention that the other half of the quinquennial exhibition has yet to take place, in Kassel, Germany). Yet the earnest visitor should make the effort, while in Athens, not only to take in what he or she can of the international offerings of documenta, but to wander off the beaten path of the biennial map, and sample what the local art scene of Athens has to offer.

A curator curating artists who curate other artists. It doesn’t get any more meta than that. The artworks collected in “The Artist’s Museum,” a nesting box of an exhibition organized by Dan Byers, are, in essence, collections themselves.

In an age where irreproducibility pretty much means invisibility, the one-upmanship between artists could perhaps now be more accurately characterized

The ShanghART Gallery is presenting works by Zeng Fanzhi and 19 other major artists at the Frieze Sculpture Park, London that will be on view through January 8, 2017.

Although the art world hysteria of Frieze and Frieze Masters is over for another year, the Frieze Sculpture Park remains open until January 8, 2017, giving you plenty of time to see the best of contemporary sculpture in the beautiful Regent’s Park.

It’s reported that 80% of the visitors to Frieze—that usually caps 68,000—are there to observe, not to buy. In fact, it may be that Frieze Week is less about selling art than ever. Since 2006, Frieze magazine have not released any sales figures, so even if you want to know what’s selling, you won’t be able to find out. What Frieze is still good at is fashion: from the well-heeled guests to good-looking gallery booths, you can expect to find the bleeding-edge of the art world in London. Whether you’re attending to participate, spectate, or purchase, we’ve made a pick of the best fairs, talks, exhibitors, and auctions for each day.

David Breslin is the Whitney Museum’s new director of the collection, replacing Dana Miller.

Until 18 September, commercial galleries, institutes, and non-profit art spaces will put on their best-in-show, giving the outside world a projection of what art is selling, but also, what kind of ideas are mobilizing local artists, curators, and audiences now. So what does the city’s art week say about them this year?
