LOOKING FOR BEST PRIVATE ART COLLECTION LOOKING FOR BEST PRIVATE ART COLLECTION

TTHE QAS Newsletter editor has been ‘banging on’ ‘banging on’ on for years about us all having

our own private art collection. Over the years we all have amassed many works that may never see the light of day again and every friend, family member, charity are proudly in possession of one of your Masterpieces. The only wall at home not hanging one of your creations is in the toilet. I have a photo of someone's Private Collection and a masterpiece it is, even the toilet roll has a frame around it. We as artists put many hours into our work and materials are dear these days, but how do we put a value on our collections? Is it space, thinking that some works are not good enough. Members please put your thinking art beret thinking art beret on and come up with an idea to move these precious art works on before they go to the tip when you go!
