Marcel Duchamp argued in 1957 that “the creative act is not performed by the artist alone”, thus allowing that the spectator, and indeed the collector, contribute to the creative act by engaging with the work.

This panel discussion with Pedro Slim, Artur Walther, one of the leading collectors of photography in the world today, and Sofia de Maduro, a member of the PhotoLondon Curatorial Committee, delves into the collecting process; beyond individual tastes and interests, how do you build a photography collection? How does a collection evolve and endure?
