Chelsea Galleriss Reaction Field Trip 5


If I was an Art Collector I would collect art work from Greg Lamarche exclusively his “Timeless” edition. This exhibition has 45 works of art all together. Most of these art works look like collages and graffiti but what stuck out to me was a few of them had a message. The message was in the title for example 

"Risk is Everything" Hand painted wood assemblage.
This particular art work would be the main attraction of the show. The title for one struck me because it can mean a number of things positive or negative. I took it to mean something positive, for examples don’t be afraid to take the risk if you want to pursue a goal. The outcome may be greater than the risk. These works of art are definitely a good investment. It is something to look at. I wouldn’t keep it in Storage I would display it. 

Since I am an "Art Collector" there are also certain collections i wouldn't display or invest in because i wouldn't want it to take up room in my storage. There is a collection by Jackie Gendel titled "Comedy of Matters". To start most of the works art pleasing to look at and I'm not sure what the title has to do with any of the paintings/drawings. For instance 
"Jackie Gendel Couple"
Ink on Paper
This drawing is the worst one out of the bunch. It just isn't appealing and I'm not sure how it could be appealing to anyone else. "Comedy of Manners" I Can see the comedy in the pictures because they are horrible but am i suppose to have manners and not laugh? Not sure. For those few reasons I would not make an investment it would definitely sit in storage if I did.
