Bronze anyone.
Solid piece I looked at for a long time and picked it up a few times over a few years and balked at the price every time. Place was closing down and they had $700 off and Mrs Standy said I would be a idiot not to buy it. ( can’t be seen as a idiot )

 

The reflection coming off the glass of a framed print or painting is an interesting thing.
The human brain seems to be able to "filter out" the distraction of the reflective glare and see the details of the art below the glass, yet the camera seems to do the opposite - it highlights the reflective glare.

I have a collection from the the "Big 5" group of artists from the Soweto School of Art.
The Soweto School of Art is the first internationally recognised school of art to emerge from the African continent. The body of their artworks spanning the specific period 1960 through 2010.
Some of their work:

 

Any decoy fans?

 

St. Ives is lovely, and a long-time favourite of British artists (e.g. Barbara Hepworth). The branch of the Tate they have there is excellent.

 

Hah, didn't realise you were an Emory alum! Same here (Ph.D. 2001).

 

I had a lot of fun at St Ives a long time back in the day - I think that was as a different sort of artist... but I did manage better than 2.5 hours from the bucket of blood pub (maybe not on the way back). It is good to see the Tate spread its wings 100% - A lot of history in the area and well worth a visit.

 

Yeppers...fellow Emoroid here...BS in Geology...1986.

 

The wife and I have some good stuff in my opinion but my favorites are all by the same person....a friend in Seattle who seem to be getting a pretty good reputation over the past few years.

We like artwork that makes us smile, or HAVE to have it!.
We have various themes around the home but a couple in the lounge we like,one of Monaco and the other by a local artist of Bordeaux- we love the city and also the painting

 

It's not quite "art collecting" but it's the centerpiece of what will hopefully become a gallery wall! I've got my eye on some complementary art prints that I'm trying to figure out sizing for =)

 

Does it have a title?

 

B-man vs Superman. (Omega vs. Rolex)

Original page that's been inked over pencil.

 

I’m definitely not an art collector but it was bright, fun, and matches my pooch in a whimsical way.

 

Purchased this in January from the artist at one of her showings. I love looking at this original done with markers and colored pencils.

 

LOVE THIS!

 

I have mostly bare walls, but there are couple of Alexander Calder lithos

 

I have a small nicely done carving of a Rhinoceros in a chocolate colored hard wood. I got it along with a hand carved letter opener of the same exotic wood. The letter opener may really be a skewer for dining, a long thin very sharp tip. The pommel is carved in the shape of what may be an African god. Very Egyptian looking but parts of ancient Africa had an Egyptian like culture.
