STEPHANIE’S TIPS FOR COLLECTING
| “A work of art has no importance whatever to society. It is only important to the individual”. – Vladimir Nabokov | |
 |
Buy what you love rather than what is fashionable or critically acclaimed. |
|
Choose art that challenges, inspires and broadens the boundaries of your experience. |
|
Admire & possess: surround yourself with things that give you pleasure. |
|
Think of your collection as something to keep adding to throughout the years. |
|
Give in to the thrill of acquiring. Feel, don’t calculate. |
|
Up-and-coming artists. It can be incredibly rewarding to support
artists at the beginning of their careers. |
|
Collecting is exciting! Have fun while searching for your next, or first, great piece. |
