One of my paintings was recently added to someone's private collection, although in an unauthorized manner.
They offered themselve's a huge discount you might say, surreptitiously collecting the work from the venue it was being offered.
I should say this puts my work in good company. Other more famous artists' work have been acquired in the same manner, and all you have to do is a web search and you'll know what I mean.
I can only take this as a compliment of course since no one would bother if it had no value to them.
I would actually like to hear from the uh... 'really private collector'... so feel free to leave a comment, I would enjoy your thoughts on the piece, what attracted you to it, why did you have to have it?
Any thoughts you might have...
Thanks

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. I am almost speechless. It would be wonderful it the painting is returned. Hang in the there.
Your art buddy,

Hi Michael,
ReplyDeleteI don't expect it to be returned.
I'm sure it was borrowed indefinitely from the venue it was being offered for purchase. As I said I can only take as a compliment.
Hanging...
Keep painting...
Your art (heisted) buddy
