Episode notes
Begin By Buying What You Love
- Start collecting by buying what you love to ensure daily pleasure from the work you live with.
- Visit galleries, museums, and fairs often to build a visceral sense of what resonates for you.
Slow Down And Study One Show
- Spend time with single exhibitions rather than trying to see everything at once to avoid overwhelm.
- Read about a show only after you form your own impression to see if your response changes.
Gallery Design Fuels Intimidation
- Galleries can feel intimidating due to design and staff posture, which creates a false pressure to buy.
- Remember gallery staff are people and you have the right to ask questions or simply look.
