EXPLAINED: Not for decoration | Vintage Vibes

To raise awareness of the importance of collecting in the Thai art ecosystem, the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) held the exhibition "Crossover: The Unveiled Collection" in 2005. The exhibition presented a collection of Thai artworks by local and international collectors. This year, in collaboration with the Thai Art Collector Association (TACA), BACC presents "Crossover II: The Nature Of Relationships", which showcases 72 paintings from 11 organisations and 10 private collectors.

The Hell (1956) by Sompot Upa-In.

"TACA helped us to collaborate with many organisations and we tried to persuade people to realise the value of their art collections, which can be more than decoration in executive offices, and allow the collections to speak to the public," said Suebsang Sangwachirapiban, head of BACC's exhibition department.
