Thread: Any Art Collectors?

Are there any art collectors on here? I have several pieces in my house that were imported. I'm not a huge art buff, but I have some decent pieces. The painting below was imported into the U.S. from Germany many years ago. I purchased the piece about 5 years ago, long after It was imported into the U.S. This piece looks like a re-print from the photo, but it's actually an Impasto (a thick textured oil painting). This is a low lighting/crapping picture, but it's one of my FAVORITE paintings in my home. The painters name, you can't see b/c of the crappy picture quality, but it says "R. KLEBES". Any ideas who this is? It's a beautiful painting, but I've never actually heard of the artist. Just thought I'd share this.




Again, crappy cell phone/low lighting picture, but heres what the texturing looks like:

I had way too much art, with no where to display it. I have a few pieces still though.

Other than a 600 year old family heirloom, all of my art is either

A. portraits of famous ancestors
B. Lichtenstein Prints
C. AGAM


the rest of my stuff is all drymounted movie posters, flags, and my Billy Dee Williams Colt .45 sign.

Oh, and some of my old buddy's art prints from his art show.

Which artists?

I love art - I've got a number of Wolf Kahn's (according to the artist, I'm the youngest relatively large-scale collector) and recently commissioned a Todd Murphy work. I collect modern art in the sense of time not style, because I like meeting the artists whose works I collect. I find that it makes the purchases much more personal.

I have one by Michael Busselle. I also ironically have a portriat painting of my grandmother from when she was 19! When she passed, my mother told me it was to go to me. I have a few others and will get back later when I can see them

I collect street art if that counts,
A piece I got in the mail today as well as another I ordered today...
