Your taste will change over time—this is a GOOD thing. Don’t be
afraid of this fact when buying art. Don’t expect a lifetime love affair with
that cunning little watercolor of spring flowers. I may still have the cat
etching I bought when I was six, but it ain’t my FAVORITE piece today.
Buying
art is not like committing to a long-term HUMAN relationship. It’s ok to have
many works you love, and some you’ve grown tired of—the latter you can rotate
to less visited rooms. Or even “de-acquisition” them, as they say in the museum
world. (…Maybe buying art IS like dating?)
Your appetites will expand, you will
become interested in new styles, new artists, new mediums.
Rule #2:
Starter art is A-OK. Just don’t get stuck there.
