Emily Lyons on DC artists

The advice for would-be collectors is endless: Buy the best art you can afford. Buy what challenges you. Buy what makes you feel at peace. Buy from artists you know and admire. Buy work your mind revisits days after you’ve seen it. Buy with a sentimental eye.

Whatever your strategy, art can be a wise investment, producing happy returns. If well-selected and cared for, its value will likely increase.

And as soon as the right age is achieved: booze and chips galore!

Trawick Prize Finalists Announced

Well, nobody told me or sent me a press release... but they are announced and online here.

My bet is on Molly Springfield with Laure Drogoul also a strong contender.
