Sometimes, a collection begins with a book.
Summer gives us something that is often missing during the year:
Time to look.
Time to discover.
Time to understand what truly speaks to us.
Art books can open the door to an artist’s world long before the first artwork enters our home.
They reveal ideas, creative processes and entire bodies of work. And sometimes, they become collectible objects in their own right.
I am therefore especially delighted that one of the artists I represent will soon publish her latest book.
More details will follow shortly.
Do you collect art books?
Or has a particular book ever inspired you to acquire an artwork?
