Collection Sizes, by Humble Art Collector on Jan 22, 2021 7:29:26 GMT 1, I have always been curious on how large people's collections are. Do you focus on many artists with few works from each or few artists with many works. I have about 70 original canvas works from 45 artists, with an additional maybe 35 LE prints. I do not know if this is on the low end or high end. Also have no idea of the collections value but not sure if it is even worth valuing yet.

Personally, I've bought too many LE prints and arttoys, many 20-30 more of each then I now want. Like others, I'm editing down what I don't honor on a shelf or wall.
I think less is more as your taste matures. Can't go after every drop.

Collection Sizes, by Humble Art Collector on Jan 22, 2021 17:07:09 GMT 1, Yes I am trying to figure out how to place everything now. We will probably split it all between a cabin, and in law condo below our house and the house. The house has our favorite artists which is also a shockingly high number :-(. I am pretty OCD as well the "cluttered" wall is just a place holder. the dining room with the Gondek, Shelby and Sandy's and a few other great paintings is pretty much final. A few "stacks" but I do not mind one painting above another if it is done right. I figure I can get about 13 in the condo, another 15-20 in the cabin, and maybe 40-50 at home.

Speaking of Florence we also have a Clet and ExitEnter.

I think less is more as your taste matures. Can't go after every drop. The Gondek is one of my favorites. I think it is one of his better works in my opinion. I like how simple it is. His newer works have a lot going on. Not that it is bad but creates a lot of noise and need space to breathe. We have definitely slowed a bit and only have a handful of editions most of our works are on canvas. Speaking of Florence we also have a Clet and ExitEnter. |

Cool! I have a Clet as well, his son is easy to deal with at Clet Studios. I have that same woman Blub as you, and I have the Cristo one. My wife and I loved the art scavenger hunts in Florence... Want to go back.
I saw your Gondek in LA at the Avenue Des Arts gallery. I still have a photo of it up on my IG. Same moniker as on here.

I can recall 1 in the 13+ years Iโve been here.
Thatโs not to say that there havenโt been more.
