At Home with Art is about art lovers, their passion for collecting and their desire to live amongst the things they cherish. The authors have been invited into more than 50 homes from airy lofts and sleek city apartments to traditional farmhouses, all made special by the paintings and sculptures within.
The collectors come from all walks of life, from the president of MoMA to a young man in love with poster art, to the actress whose art travels with her. Their chosen art forms range from old masters to outsider art, from folk art to contemporary art, to prints, drawings, photographs and sculpture. Each person explains what sparked their interest, how they make their choices, how they integrate art into their homes, and what living with art means to them.
Special sections provide practical advice on framing, hanging, lighting and caring for art, from oil paintings to delicate works on paper. A directory includes framers, dealers, auction houses and restorers in London and major American cities. |
