Abstract

From the past to the present, collecting and managing collections have been one of the main functions of art museums. Museum work has focused on artworks rather than visual arts materials. Consequently, the importance of visual arts materials has tended to be undervalued, and due to persistent problems such as a lack of budget and space, the collection and management of these materials have not been easy. Furthermore, the unique nature of visual arts materials in terms of their types, sources, and distribution systems poses challenges for collecting them. Establishing a collection policy is the most fundamental and essential approach to addressing these difficulties. However, most domestic institutions collecting visual arts materials operate without a collection policy. This study aims to improve this situation by examining the current state of collecting visual arts materials at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea, a prominent art museum in South Korea, to identify problems. It then analyzes overseas cases to draw implications. Based on these findings, the study proposes measures to improve current regulations and establish a collection policy for enhancing the collection of visual arts materials.

과거부터 현재까지 소장품 수집·관리는 미술관의 주요한 기능 중 하나로 미술관 업무는 자료보다는 작품에 치중되어 왔다. 그로 인해 시각예술자료는 그 중요성이 다소 등한시되는 경향이 있으며, 예산과 공간 부족 등의 지속적인 문제로 인해 자료의 수집과 관리가 쉽지 않은 상황이다. 게다가 시각예술자료의 유형과 출처 및 유통방식 등에 따른 특수한 성격 때문에 수집에 어려움이 많다. 이러한 어려움을 해소하기 위한 가장 기초적이고 필수적인 방안이 수집정책의 수립이다. 하지만 시각예술자료를 수집하는 국내기관 대부분이 수집정책이 부재한 상태에서 운영되고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 상황을 개선하기 위하여 국내의 대표적인 미술관인 국립현대미술관의 시각예술자료 수집 현황을 살펴 문제점을 파악하고, 해외 사례를 분석하여 시사점을 도출한 후, 시각예술자료 수집 업무를 개선하기 위하여 현행 규정의 정비와 수집정책 수립을 위한 방안을 제안하였다.
