The Art of Buying Art

As a designer, there is nothing more heartbreaking than completing a space and then 1. having clients that put up hideous art, or 2. the clients don’t have art to hang and don’t have energy or money to buy art. 

I am incredibly lucky to have the world’s best client, Paige West (and I really mean it about being the best client in the whole wide world!!!).  She has been collecting art for years and recently wrote a book about it.  It sort of demystifies buying art.  I love love love the artists in this book.  So now when I have a client who has empty walls or hideous art, I simply buy this book for them and keep my fingers crossed.
