Anne Hjortshøj Loves Contemporary Fine Art

Let’s dive into the intersection of design, art, and craft, as Anne Hjortshøj joins us to talk about contemporary fine art, which she finds more abstract and intriguing than traditional figurative art. She explores the common misconceptions surrounding design as an art form, and explores the contextual nature of art. Anne touches on the role of museums, the evolution of art trends, and her personal encounters with significant artworks, as well as the economic structures of the fine art world, its small and elitist nature, auction house controversies, and the tension between artistic intent and market value.Guest BioAnne Hjortshøj (she/her) has successfully led design as an executive across B2C industries, including automotive, CPG, retail, financial services and EdTech. She has built design capabilities at three organizations, assembling UX teams from the ground up, while scaling the function and advancing a strong, consistent design culture.LinksAnne’s website: https://annehj.com/Anne on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annehjAnne on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/annesaurus.bsky.socialAnne on mastodon: https://better.boston/@annesaurusCreditsCover design by Raquel Breternitz.
