Many people love and collect shoes

and there are many hidden Imelda Marcos among us.

Historically shoes have often symbolized status and desire for power.

The rich could afford it, the poor had to go barefoot or in wooden shoes.

Why are shoes so important for our well-being?

A Cinderella’s dream?  Status? Passion?

In the art history we met van Gogh’s boots, Goya’s pointy silk shoes,

Degas’ ballet shoes, clogs by Gustave Courbet, Ball shoes by

Helene Schjerfbeck, the list can be long…


But what about the contemporary artists’ approach to shoes?
