art pole....if you could own any piece of art.....

So here is a question for all you art lovers.... if you could own any piece of art what would it be any why. what does that piece of art mean to you... is it sentimental, anecdotal, or decorative appeal.

Maybe flaming june, i always thought it is a beautiful painting. For investment any old s*** by da vinci.

LOL! i agree with you... beauty and a good investment...

It would be an impressionist painting- probably Monet- I don't like art that looks like a photograph.

it would be anything by the local artists simon swinfield, bob rickard(my granddad, and i have loads of his stuff) or belinda (not sure of her surname, but she's a college friend of my grandads and she is awesome!) basically because all 3 of them paint from the heart, and thats what i look for in paintings!

This marble statue at the louve it is of cupid and psyche. It is my favorite myth and the statue is beautiful. [img">

thanks for sharing! i like art myself, i have some painting but if i could have any piece of art it would have to be a large peter max. and my first choice.... which will never happen is anything by Pissco. Maybe one day i will find one of his lost masterpieces at a garage sale. then again that would in tale me actually going to a garage sale. forget it... i will never be a billionaire.

The Night Watchmen..When I went to Amesterdam, I saw it in person, I never knew it was an entire walls worth of a painting, it was so different from what history books lead you to believe, so I would want that piece of artwork to show that books do not do any justice to art work what so ever.

2 of these outside the front door, preferably in black


I'd like a Goya and VanGogh too.

Did you ever notice how theirs only a 1 letter diference between garage sale and garbage sale?

If i could own any painting it would either be van gogh's water lillies or before her appearance by Frederick Carl Frieseke. I saw it at the cummer museum and its amazing in person!

Actually I have a piece of art that I like the most. It is a portrait of my mother. It doesn't just hang from the wall I actually look at it for ten minutes almost the first thing in the morning.
Besides that give me a Constable any day. I love his creations, though I wonder how they would fit into the house. It evokes the feeling of a different age in me his attention to detail, the dogs in his paintings are amazing.

Lavender Mist No. 1 by Jackson Pollock.

Pollock cracked the art world wide open. Lavender mist is the epitome of the abstract expressionist style.
This piece made it possible for artists like Warhol, Christo, Jasper Johns, etc. to do what they did.

It changed, for the entire world, the concept of what is and isn't ART.

Mona Lisa. I took an art history class in college, the professor showed it to us and went on and on about the detail and compared it to all kinds of art. Nothing came close.
