I have done all my own art for my spaces and have done some for my clients as well. But I am saving my pennies for amazing, permanent collectibles. Paule Marrot's giclee prints for Natural Curiosities are at the top of my list. The French painter did these works on fabric originally, and NC is releasing them as huge prints. Yes, the black and white (my fave) is something I could easily do on canvas, but the framing in lucite boxes is gorgeous, the detail is mesmerizing (layered like a watercolor) and in the great scheme of things in the art world, they are quite well priced.
What do you think?

Love seeing them in the actual space. Makes a huge, gorgeous impact!
Oh I agree! It's like dressing yourself- If your purse and shoes are expensive, your whole outfit will look luxe. I'm really happy that almost all of my art is original. Hoping to acquire more "important" pieces someday. A splurge is worth it if it's something you love.
Oh I had not heard of him! Love the large scale graphic, always.
I have only two original works thus far, but we also have a signed Julius Shulman photograph which is very cool!
how much do his pieces run?? I can't seem to find a price?
Dudes, Marrot is a woman - Mia, the prices on the huge giclees are around $2000 retail...if you have a store or are a designer you can get a better deal...
