Handing over to the next generation

New galleries in Indonesia are fostering the emerging artists and collectors of the 21st century.

    FROM art collector to gallery owner - that's one of the classic paths taken by those in the art market. It is generally the case too in Indonesia, where those who started their galleries in the 1990s or early 2000s would have first been collectors.

    But a crop of new or second-generation gallerists - not necessarily collectors themselves - are creating a buzz in the scene today.

    Some, naturally, "inherited" the business from their parents. Esti Nurjadin essentially felt that she had to take over the gallery that her father, Aswad Dipo, had started in 2001.
