ART COLLECTING TIPS FOR FALL

Here is my art collecting resource list for the fall art season!
 
BOOKS:

The Art of  Buying Art: 
How to Evaluate and Buy Art Like a Professional Collector
by Alan Bamberger
                        
Seven Days in the Art World by Sarah Thornton
"An indelible portrait of a peculiar society." - Vogue
                         
An Object of Beauty: A Novel by Steve Martin
 
FILM:     “HERB & DOROTHY” - (A wonderful documentary about Art Collectors Herbert Vogel,
a postal worker and his wife Dorothy Vogel, a librarian) 
 
“HERB & DOROTHY tells the extraordinary story of Herbert Vogel, a postal worker, and Dorothy Vogel, a librarian, who managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history with very modest means. They lived off of Dorothy’s salary and used Herb’s to collect art. They only had two requirements when purchasing art: the piece had to be affordable, and it had to be small enough to fit in their one-bedroom Manhattan apartment.
 
Over the decades they collected over 2000 pieces of art, (keeping all of it in their tiny apartment) and became patrons of artists including Sol LeWitt, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Richard Tuttle, Chuck Close …and Lawrence Weiner.”
