Advice on what/who to collect, by Coach on Mar 7, 2016 16:34:35 GMT 1, Or *quotes burce Lee* youย must be shapeless, formless, like art. When you pour art in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour art in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. Become like art my friend*ย therefore become the artist, ย try your hand at performance art *as Bruce suggests* Milo Moire has this down to a T, just avoid those eggs.ย If there are three things the world does not need Performance Art comes in just behind Performance Poets and marginally in front of Jazz. As the genius that was Tony Wilson once saidย Jazz is the last refuge of the untalented. Jazz musicians enjoy themselves more than anyone listening to them does - and you substitute any art form that uses the word Performance in place of Jazz and it makes even more sense
So so wrong.
Sublime.

Advice on what/who to collect, by chrisell66 on Mar 7, 2016 16:39:11 GMT 1, John Coltrane was fascinating until you listen to a record then its a man with a trumpet crucifying random notes.
Need to listen to Britney to clean my ears out now

Ahh now there is one musically talented psychotic hair dresser in the making right there.

It can be some of the most soulful and moving music you'll ever hear.

Advice on what/who to collect, by simulacrum7 on Mar 8, 2016 6:56:20 GMT 1, I'm going to be a bit contrarian to the advice to just buy what you like. I don't completely disagree, but when I started collecting I was always looking to buy things that I fancied. Now I have drawers (and frames) of art I have no room for and don't really fit my collection. I also wish I had passed on buying prints and spent that money on one or two originals. Think long and hard about what you want to collect. Do research on artists. How long has he or she worked, what is his or her history? Are they represented by a gallery? Do they regularly have gallery shows? Is their work represented in museums? What prices does he or she fetch on the secondary market? Auctions? Lots of ground for you to cover.
The biggest step for me as a collector was clearly defining the parameters of my collection and sticking to that. There are plenty of pieces I see that I think are really great, but I pass because they don't fit in the collection. In my mind, I want to build a collection that is worth more than the sum of its parts. And when I say worth, I don't mean monetary worth, I mean personal worth and ultimately cultural relevance. My advice is to pick something and stick to it. Maybe its a single artist, or a particular style of artwork, or exemplars of a movement.
If you're starting your collection with a mind to make money, stick your money somewhere else.
