Books for "next generation" art collectors


Kathryn Markel, Owner of Markel Fine Arts a gallery in New York since the 1970's says: This bit of advice from my wise friend Jeanne Frank whose new book, Discovering Art : A User's Guide to the World of Collecting is a wonderful source for beginning art aficionados. You'll notice the works of art that appeal to you all have something in common. It may be softness, boldness of color, or a color itself. Perhaps you are attracted to blues, grays, or a compositional element such as the consistent use of deep space. Maybe there is a subject matter that unites all the work to which you are attracted such as landscapes, realism, abstraction, still lives, or florals.
