I often find myself pondering Mysteries of the Universe -
Why are all babies beautiful but not all adults?
Why do married mean women have big diamonds?
What the heck is art?
Here's my personal opinion on why people buy a specific piece of contemporary art:
1. Their designer told them to (i.e., an inve$tment)
2. They are controversial and restless and want to appear 'edgy'
3. They are deep and abstruse and found an artist with whom they connect
4. They are happy and carefree and like the pretty colors
Modern art is no different than the other objects with which we surround ourselves - it's an intimate revelation of who we are and what we perceive as worthy of our resources and attention.
Kind of like our children.

Contemporary interpretation of female anatomy?
Souvenir from Rome?
Forget the art, I want the Mexican wedding bench.
Notice the reflective copper ceiling? Odd but cool.
This piece actually compliments the decor and
is soothing, not disruptive.
Ditto.
Not really appetizing for a dining room, que pensez-vous?
Call me crazy but I'm kind of digging this painting.
