Founded by amateur curator Zsuzsa Koncz five years ago, the account started as a place where Koncz could post artworks she liked and happened to discover online. But as the account has gathered a dedicated following, she has also widened her scope.
“Today I see Art Cage as a platform of inspiration and visual education,” she told The Calvert Journal. “There is a saying: with big money comes big responsibility. I believe the same applies to a large follower base, which is why I started to invest more time into finding relatively unknown, emerging artists, so that they can get discovered by curators, collectors, and their future audience,” she added.
