We re about to move into another place, but this is what one of the walls looked like in our Boston Apartment, the last time we were truly settled in. Some of the pieces are my wife’s, there is a sketch I did, a lot of random artists work we collect, some work by friends, one piece by Joseph Albers that is the prize piece, a sketch by a local architect.
My advice, don’t buy things just to buy things, let it be an adventure as a couple. Go to some local art gallery openings. Small ones. Go to a local art school and visit some studios and buy stuff right from students. Let each piece have a story. We have been collecting from some artists for 6 or 7 years, it is fun to have that relationship. The first thing we did when we moved to SoCal was go to an art opening and buy a few pieces.
