I completely agree and only plan to purchase work I'd be proud to display in my home. I also agree about your point in getting to know the artist, etc. I had lengthy conversations with the two artists I previously purchased from, and really got to know their motivations, backgrounds, etc. It's nice to have a story behind each piece.

I don't know much about this, but a very good friend of mine's wife works at a gallery. I go to their opening every month (free wine, holla).

they have a bunch of art in their home that they get at a steep discount b/c they don't pay the galleries commission (they buy direct from the artist). so, my advice is to hook up with an art gallery chick!
