Owning Kids and Having Art, by maadbeats on Jun 6, 2008 2:24:08 GMT 1, beautiful Kaws. Was this from Housten in Seattle??
I was thinking the same thing as I am to be married in a year. Which means kids will follow after. I think you did the right thing. Maybe even move a couple to the office

Maad - it's a piece from a 2000 and I picked it up from Gering & Lopez, they've had access to many of KAW's earlier works due to their relationship with him and his upcoming solo in November. The piece is also actually featured in his Kaw-One book which I'm pretty stoked about.
ยฎat - Tried that, but made the shot even with a goalie guarding the net

Owning Kids and Having Art, by Bram on Jun 6, 2008 15:37:15 GMT 1, My kids are of an age that the piece going missing and ending up on Ebay is more of a problem.
Went to see Bruce Springsteen last week and he said that his kids keep putting his favorite clothes
on ebay while he's on tour - can't wait for Banksy to get a kid ;D

Owning Kids and Having Art, by lee3 on Jun 6, 2008 16:42:51 GMT 1, we've done nothing yet though i know the day will come when something happens to a piece, that's where chubb will come in handy. I real big villegle de collage was put behind UV plex so that our son and his friends aren't peeling away more layers than the artist intended. I'm actually MUCH more worried about the kid pouring apple juice into my amplifiers or pulling the tweeter off my b&w's to simulate a microphone. actually, i kind of look forward to this stuff in twisted sort of way.
If you have works on wood, you can buy a clear sealant (sp?) that you spray over any graphite or paint and make certain that wet hands can't do a ton of damage to the work. Choe gave me a can for that very reason on a piece that he just forgot to do himself.

Owning Kids and Having Art, by Bram on Jun 6, 2008 17:12:46 GMT 1, Solution that I have thought of is include them - bought son (9) Nick Walker Mona marge & daughter (6) Faile Mermaid. Got them both framed (look the nuts) and in their bedrooms. This way they love the fact that they've got their own pieces of art, and they also respect the other stuff in the house.
Great post - reminds me of a quote in an interview with Randy Newman who said when he was 5 his dad (who was classical composer) put a piano in his bedroom. His dad said " I don't know if he is going to be a pianist, but if he is it wouldn't be a bad idea if there was a piano in his room"
which is something I have always been aware of with my kids. Given the opportunity, who knows what they may take to. I could have been the world best knitter - but I never had the needles

i'm thinking that a box frame for it is on the shopping list pretty soon!

Onemandown - this is the piece i put in her room before she was born
this is the piece I feel is more appropriate after getting to know her....

Owning Kids and Having Art, by Coach on Jun 6, 2008 19:16:47 GMT 1, My boys think it's ok to play football and/or rugby in the lounge when I'm not looking.
I have just come to terms with the fact that a piece of art will get fucked up at some point, and I'll have to live with it.
The perspex cover is a great idea tho'. What sort of cost?

Owning Kids and Having Art, by Harveyn on Jun 6, 2008 20:11:20 GMT 1, I started with moving everything out of reach. Things got moved higher and higher up the wall. Than as my daughter got to the throwing objects and food stage I started covering everything up. In the end I started getting her involved so that every time a new piece arrived she had to give her own personal critic. Fantastic the type of comments kids can come out with. With number two on the way the whole process starts all over again..... ;D ;D ;D
