The Beginners: Why and How to Start An Art Collection

You know the one. That cold modern art gallery you walked past the other day?

The art world’s entry points for those who may be beginning to form an interest and start to build a collection often are very intimidating.

The wonders and excitement however, of immersing yourself in the many offerings of the Art World are vast and far reaching and find their way into ones individual life beyond just one aspect. How you relate to, and place yourself in the culture that surrounds us, becomes more evident and as unique to you, as the many artists and their expressions we experience and recognize shared value in.

Here is a list of some films that explore that wonder and take a bit of the sting out in case you wandered into a gallery that made you feel like you didn’t belong!
