Giving Art as Gift Too Personal?
This year is the most saturated year of art exhibits specifically targeted toward purchasing art for the holidays. Many say that work can be purchased as gifts, or a way to acquire affordable pieces.
Is Art Too Personal to Give as a Gift?
I don't think so. Of course, giving it to someone you know really well doesn't make it too personal at all. Giving it at the office Secret Santa may not be the best thing to do. I say, go to more galleries with friends, get to know their taste, see what they like, start talking about art.
Start here: 33 1/3 books is having an event this Saturday in Echo Park. Their event is anti-the facists-that stole Christmas. Love that, as since I respect those who do not celebrate Christmas, I don't think it is very PC to bash the choices of those who do. All political & social pressures of consumerism aside, please - it is so gauche to go around & say that society pressured you to a.b.c.
The folks over at 33 1/3 have such a nice rebel/anti/punkrock yet classic/y way of doing things.

Most of the artists I work with work in a variety of mediums & sizes. It always great to have the eye candy & important pieces, then have something more broadly accessible too - usually that means small & very affordable. Doncha think?

i received an art piece for christmas from my boyfriend this year and i love it!!!!
he bought an Eric Doeringer from Another Year in LA.
it's a very personal gift, so don't go there if you don't know the person but if you do, the gift won't be forgotten.
