Everyone should be able to start an art collection – in any space, on any budget. From Partnership Editions founder Georgia Spray comes this personal guide to discovering your taste, navigating the art world, and all things buying, framing and hanging works of art. It not only demystifies art collecting, but also answers the questions so frequently asked by emerging collectors:

• How do I find my style?
• How much should I be spending on an artwork?
• How do I understand if something is good value?
• How should I frame and hang my art?

Set against the backdrop of artists’ studios and new collectors’ homes, Georgia Spray offers expert advice on how to collect art for spaces large and small. Her accessible, highly visual guide will set readers on the road to a lifelong love affair with art and show how it can be a transformative and endlessly inspiring form of self-expression.
