Quotes on Collecting
Forming relationships with dealers, keeping up with your chosen genre, checking on what "your" artists are creating – these are the hallmarks of the true collector. (Joan Oleck)
Art is "food for the soul" – enlivening and whole-making – sometimes bland, sometimes very spicy and stimulating – maybe sometimes even "junk food", but a basic human necessity. (Catherine Jo Morgan)
To love a painting is to feel that this presence is... not an object but a voice. (Andre Malraux)
The art piece you buy is something you'll experience repeatedly – it's worth considering why it speaks to you, and how long it might continue to do so. (Glen Helfand)
Art collecting requires a bit of an investment. A painting may cost more than cheese puffs, but not necessarily more than a very good bottle of wine. (Glen Helfand)
Buying art is the same thing as falling in love. (Nohra Haime)
Collectors are happy people. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
The brilliance of art as a collectible is that it has a way of reaching out on an emotional level. It touches on mystery, even spirituality. (Robert Genn)
The collector walks with blinders on; he sees nothing but the prize. In fact, the acquisitive instinct is incompatible with the true appreciation of beauty. (Anne Morrow Lindbergh)
However you feel and however you respond to a work of art is your way. There is no "supposed to" when it comes to looking at art. (Jeanne Frank)
Buy art because you like it and because it moves you, and because it enhances your life. (Dan Fear)
The appeal of the esthetic is an important motive for most art collectors. Colour, texture and line evoke a response, and one wishes to own the picture and look at it often. (Alicia Craig Faxon)
Collecting seems to bring out that primitive instinct for the hunt in some of its devotees, who stalk their prey with skill. (Alicia Craig Faxon)
I think the collectors have made an enormous contribution, not only to the market but to painters themselves... These people that buy, that set standards, make everyone else itch to emulate. (Philip Johnson)
