One entry point to collecting contemporary art is through the Present Group. It's a quarterly art subscription service where you get four pieces of contemporary art for just $150. In addition to getting great contemporary art, your contribution supports the artists that create these pieces. The pieces also come with commentary to contextualize the work, commentary from critics, and more. Here's their website: http://www.thepresentgroup.com/ Great post.

One suggestion I make to clients at the beginning of their collecting is that renting art can be a positive and powerful baby step in developing your aesthetic and MO. If you're not quite sure adn aren't yet ready to go out and spend several thousand dollars on a piece for an important part of your home, join your local musuem and rent a few pieces until you find something that inspires you. It's a great first step towards developing a long term mission for the residential collector. Excellent post with invaluable points.

I also think it's important to encourage communication. Artists and collectors sometimes separate themselves, unnecessarily. We are all in this because we love art! "Being a working artist can be overwhelming, and so can being an art collector!" Great blog! I also think it’s important to encourage communication.
