Maladie 2.0. The passion for collecting
Meissen Porcelain Foundation Ten Years On
Tour through the exhibition in the Meissen Porcelain Foundation Museum.
Joys of Collecting. The Manufactory’s founder Augustus the Strong referred to his passion for porcelain as a “maladie”. That literally means “illness” but merely reflects his boundless longing for the precious white gold.
This fascination is still shared by generations of collectors - and artists. Artists play with the concept of porcelain and transform centuries-old tools into contemporary porcelain art. Their porcelains refer to the invention, production and collecting of the white treasures. The exhibition also presents new additions to the collection and looks back at various exhibition themes from the past decade. It is an entertaining exploration of the passion for collecting, a must for all friends of Meissen porcelain.
