1. What kind of relationships do the Vogels have with the artists they collect?
The Vogels had a personal and even private relationship with the artists they collected from in the sense that it didn’t matter if the artists were famous at the time or not, the Vogels were very passionate of the artists’ works. The Vogels grew a fond attachment to the artists as they wanted to watch the growth of their artwork every step of the way and see the evolution of their style. The Vogels were treated like family because they were personable and even made phone calls with artists every week and see what projects they’re working on and catch up like it was a sort of routine for them.
2. What kind of art did the Vogels collect?
The Vogels’ art collection gravitated mostly towards minimalist and conceptual art. They were open to really all kinds of art as long as it sparked interest and passion as hungry art collectors.
3. How were they able to collect so much work on such a limited income? What was their approach? What were their criteria in terms of buying work?
The Vogels were quite frugal as they

From the walls, ceiling, and floors, art consumed their whole apartment with files jammed, white bathroom wall with red, yellow, and blue pencil marks, trunk loads of artwork under their bed which elevated it every time they’ve collected more. The Vogels even covered certain art pieces in blankets to preserve their quality and prevent it from fading from light sources. They used every space available in their small apartment to cover in art and didn’t have any room for a couch or more tables and chairs for comfortable and safe conditions. They had over 2,000 works of art holed up in their

It must have been 13 years or so since I have been to the art museum, back in elementary school, on a one of a kind field trip. 13 years is way too long to have been away from the art museum, as my experience this year reminded me that. It was a beautiful, sunny October day, although it felt like July, and it was an even better day to talk a walk through the vast, mesmerizing pieces of art that the museum has to offer. The North Carolina Museum of Art provides an abundance of artwork from various time periods, cultures, and one can find art anywhere from Egyptian, to classical, to modern and contemporary art. The artwork that the museum provides not only displays an abundance of artwork, but
As we know, the result of “Art is” is “Art is” which returned in an ephemeral form at the Studio Museum. All forty photographs are on display on the basement level of the galleries, which are supposedly reserved for pieces in their permanent collection. The room just outside, whether coincidentally or not, is filled with photos of students - reflecting personal memories. How the museum decides to play with this, is by missing them with old-timer photos of Harlem from the

Janet Echelman is an artist who creates astonishing art out of fabric material. She creates thoughts that people get lost in. Her art is very deep as she incorporates texture of fiber, steal and lightning in her sculptures. She also included colorful colors that contrasted to the environment and to what her art needed to stand out. She hung her sculptures where she thought would change people and to have them get a sense at looking at things in ways you would never think of. Janet had got her inspiration from the cactus flower and how patient the flower could be to represent Phoenix. She created her title from the words of the American poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson who wrote, “Adopt the pace of nature; her secret is patience”(Frank, pg 2). Her Secret is Patience was meant to show the city of Phoenix that patience is key and you can only wait and hope for the best to come, rather than forcing something that should not be forced because the most beautiful things come
The two works of art that I have chosen to analyze are 1) Jordan Casteel. Miles and JoJo. 2014. Oil on canvas, 54” x 72” and 2) Aaron Fowler. He Was. 2015. Mixed media, 134” x 165” x 108”. The themes that these works of art represent in regards to the exhibit are love, family, and pain. However, they also fall into other thematic categories. The main theme that seems to apply to both “Miles and JoJo” and “He Was” is Human Experience. Additionally, these arts differ in some ways.
This artwork was an installation of a tent assembled on the gallery floor, on the inside she had appliqued patches of fabric with the names of one hundred and two people she had slept with over the continuation of her life. These patches in turn were sewn onto the interior of the tent and are the focal point of this artwork. Emin had created a private, personal space in which she invited the public to share. Emin achieved this through the audience being invited to crawl into the tent, in order to observe the entirety of the art work. The title is a clever euphemism, suggesting that the names in the tent were all sexual partners. Some were, though most were simply friends and family, such as her grandmother, her dog, sister and
Perhaps two of the most noteworthy art collections in the 1500’s were the collections of the Medici, well know patrons of the arts and of many well-known artists; also the Habsburgs of Austria Known then as the Holy Roman emperors who were known for having an eclectic collection ranging from scientific tools and exotic stuffed animals to religious artefacts and Paintings. Then in the seventeenth century in Britain another famous collector comes forth, Charles I who had a taste for art that showed the divine right of kings and had a love for Rubens and Van Dyke’s painting style. I have selected these Rulers due to the fact that they were not only collectors but were also patrons of artworks which shows a complete devotion to art, not in just admiring art from the past which had become noteworthy through the popularity of the artist; but because the encouraged contemporary artists, and as such had a lasting impact on art despite them not being directly behind the works.
The couple stored the collection in their home for a long period of time, the even agreed to loan two hundred pieces to a “New York Dali retrospective” before finally deciding to give the collection a permanent home. Dali encouraged the couple to build a museum in New York, although they thought this was a wonderful idea they still kept searching. One of their goals for the collection was to preserve the collections historical integrity. When word reached St. Petersburg, attorney, James W. Martin worked quickly to persuade
