Review
"From splashy abstract canvases to artfully framed photo collages; from graphic, geometric rugs to hand-printed wallpapers; from collectible antiques to streamlined contemporary furniture; and from minimal ceramics to trashy kitsch ornaments -- all kinds of objects with aesthetic appeal are considered art. No longer just for serious collectors or the seriously rich, art is now available to everyone. The new decorating medium, it offers an accessible way to inject new life and color into the home in endlessly creative ways, whether you choose to take a traditional approach and fill a blank wall with a series of framed prints, or go down a more unusual route and display your collection of film posters or designer handbags in your living room." "Living with Art is a practical guide to the endless ways to introduce art into your living space. Drawing inspiration from the homes of photographers, artists, and style gurus, the book offers numerous innovative ideas on what to collect and where and how to display it. With advice on everything from framing, hanging, and painting your own wall art, to choosing and caring for textiles and rugs, to how to seek out the design icons of the future, Living with Art will appeal to anyone with a blank wall, floor, or ceiling at their disposal.
