Buying a work 02 / 16
A photograph to choose in your own time.
Looking for an original work of art is also looking for a presence to live with. Here the starting point is photography: landscapes, figures and forms found in the surface of things.
From looking to choosingFrom looking to choosing
Explore a collection before settling on one image. Your interest may begin with a detail, or with the relationship between photographs. Returning to the work after seeing its neighbours gives that first impression room to develop. A photograph chosen slowly may reveal something different each day.
Before choosing a place on the wall, there is time to look. A photograph may first attract through contrast, then remain compelling for an entirely different reason: a relationship between figures, a barely visible area or something left outside the frame. These details emerge through repeated encounters.
You can begin with a landscape, follow the human figure or turn towards images whose subjects are less recognisable. There is no need to arrive with a settled preference. Comparing the series helps you discover which photograph you would like to bring into daily life. When an image keeps drawing you back, speaking with the artist can take the next step from interest towards a considered choice.
For a purchase, check the individual work’s details and confirm size, price and availability.
