Chelsea Galleries Reaction Field Trip 5


Being an art collector I would collect artworks that are appealing to me. Artist Russell Young artistic piece “Elvis TCB Gun – Triple, 2011” would be appealing to me. I encounter this artwork in Tagliatella galleries. The reason why this artwork is appealing to me is for its different looks from the usual artwork I have seen. I would invest into this artwork because its crystal appearance. I would display this artwork because of the shine it brings into the room so I wouldn’t keep this in storage.
In addition, how the artists create this artwork with diamond dust was have unique to me. I feel that this artwork has more meaning to it. I think it can be use as a warning and decoration. The “Easy Rider” painting cannot compare to the “Elvis TCB Gun – Triple, 2011” because that piece is too simple and not different.  Also the Mick Jagger "Reggie Kray, Do You Know my Name" painting are similar to the other and doesn’t shine in the room like other artworks.

Also being an art collector there are certain artworks that wouldn’t be appealing to me. I wouldn't display Senzo Pieao ll created by Aaron Nagel. I dislike the coverage of the female breast. I believe it would be more appealing to expose this woman to make this artwork on a more realistic low. I wouldn’t invest in this artwork because I dislike the tease it gives the audience. I would keep this in my storage room until I am persuaded it is profitable. I encounter this artwork in Lyons Wier Gallery.

The other works of arts were pleasing to look at but this one mess up the gallery. In addition this artwork lack meaning to it and how it was develop wasn’t unique. I'm not sure what the title has to do with the paintings either. Compare to “The Pale” Aaron Nagel reveals more in his artwork than “Senzo Pieao ll.” Plus “Lie Down With Lions” also reveals more and has a better title that can relate to the painting.
