Most larger cities have a design museum and autonomous design has dribbled into the collections of the big contemporary art museums. ‘Design’ objects are being sold through channels that were established for art, such as auction houses and commercial galleries. But, dedicated curated design exhibitions have (so far) not been part of the surge of design’s presence: curators who establish relations with designers, keep track of their development and are able to place changes in the design field in context are still under-represented.
