Chelsea Gallery Reaction


            This week we visited the Chelsea galleries. This place is incredible for art collectors everywhere.  They have art for individuals who collect or just appreciate good artwork. They have artist who sell their paintings for profit. This is a place were people can come and select from hundred of paintings.
            The artwork I would invest on is “slow iis goood” from Ernesto Neto. Displays a couple of installations polyester cords that hang from the ceiling. They are couple of feet above the ground. In some there are plastic balls and plants hanging in the air. There are many colors and interesting shapes. But, I think they way it is displayed is what gets the viewers attention. 
            There were some artworks I disliked from “Murals & Portraits” gallery, by Richard Avedon. The portraits I disliked the most are the ones that display nude persons. It is something that cannot be displayed everywhere. I do not see it as art to be collected or that eventually it would become collector’s art. I do however enjoy portrait art.
             Investing in art or trading is mostly depended if someone is completely satisfied with what they get in return. Portraits of naked man in my opinion do not have great value. Now if the portrait is about an important figure it would have value as times goes by. The artwork from Ernesto Neto grabs the viewer’s attention. The use of bright colors and space used to display can get different opinions.
