Why is Art Important to Collect

Collecting art is a fantastic luxury. Collecting is an honor and an mystery. There are so different reasons and types of collectors. Here are some reasons- All are legal!

Enjoyment and Beauty: People are drawn to art that they find aesthetically pleasing or emotionally resonant. Owning a piece of art allows them to live with it every day and experience that enjoyment on a regular basis.

Legacy Building: A collection can be a way to tell your story and reflect your taste. It can also be a way to leave a lasting legacy for future generations

Preserving History: Owning a piece of art can be a way to preserve a piece of history. Artworks can document social, political, and cultural movements throughout time.

Supporting Artists: Buying art directly from an artist or gallery is a way to support the art world and help artists continue creating.

Abstraction Group show at 3S ARTSPACE

Artists' Statement:
Walking the line between figuration and abstraction, this exhibit explores the non-objective role abstract art plays in our culture, perception, and psyche. Using diverse subject matter, four painters created work reflecting their personal experiences. Emergent through this inspiration is a visual language interpreting the world around them.

“Objective painting is not good painting unless it is good in the abstract sense. A hill or a tree cannot make a good painting just because it is a hill or tree. It is lines and colors put together so that they may say something.” --Georgia O’ Keefe
