Popular Post sfilosa Posted September 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2020 I have respect for him as he post his new acquisitions and puts his art on CAF. I like people that want to show off their collection. Doesn't matter if you have $5k or $5 mm, show it off!!!! Honestly, having my collection on CAF and organized, getting comments, etc. is just another way I enjoy the hobby (that doesn't cost money).

Will_K Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Nice collection. He's clearly dedicating $$$ towards art and not the ladder. Orange ladders are only rated for 300 lbs. Now, yellow ladders are rated for 375 lbs. Although, I have a yellow ladder and it's only rated for 250 lbs. Blah...

Man, if collectors saw the way that artists care for and toss around their art, they would lose their sh**. I was able to comp a TV interview person today with a field sketch my artist wife had put in the trash. David Clarify... My remark was about any artist's perceived value of their work! My artist wife throws stuff out, and if I'm lucky, I can rescue art from the trash ( in my own home! ) We had a local TV station anchor come by to do a feature about Julie's carport art venue in the COVID era, and she was a very pleasant 20 something, and did a nice job taking video and gopro for over an hour for a 2 minute segment, so I gave her a small piece as a thank you. Thanks, Elissa! WCAX Vermont Sorry for the odd post, busy day. David Edited September 23, 2020 by aokartman clarify alxjhnsn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapeape Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Ok gang you’ve triggered all my fears in this thread: 1) Someone teabagging my art 2) Spilling paint on my art 3) bleeding on my art 4) Taking a photo that causes spontaneous combustion and starts a fire 🔥 5) Scott selling me an X-Men cover.then playing soccer with Jim Lee to see who can kick my cover into the shipping package first ( or the “goal” as they call it.) before they ship it to grapeape.

My entire collection, save what's up on walls is "on the floor". I'm a fan of floor. Solid. exitmusicblue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see what looks like the knot in the trash bag. And as far as the apartment goes, you cant tell from the pic exactly what that apartment looks like. It's a corner of 1 very minimalist room. The place could be a modernist palace. I mean look at that absolutely huge yellow abstract painting on the wall. I wouldn't be surprised it it was 7ft square +, based on it's placement over the side table. Huge ceilings. But hey, what do I know... please keep right on talking trash to the guy with the bajillion dollar collection. I'm sure he cares! Love this comment. Literally lol'd. It's not a trash can, it's a child's cloth toy basket. grapeape, Xatari, BuraddoRun and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree and my hope is that being so public about my collection will help others feel comfortable to do the same. One day soon, these will all be in museums (or at least they should) but until then bringing such an important and exciting part of the art form to light feels necessary.
