What to do with Too Much Art

I know collectors who complain that they don't have another inch of wall space left. I love these collectors. They fall in love with art and they can't get enough of it. But they often end up with a home that's crammed and cluttered. Each piece deserves to be cherished, but nothing shows well because each piece competes with the other. Collectors sometimes have the problem of owning too much art.

So, do what the galleries do. Revolve your work. Rather than hang all of your pieces in a cluttered menagerie, leave only a few things on the walls. By minimizing, these few pieces are your showpieces. They'll stand out. The rest of your paintings can be placed lovingly in a closet, to be pulled out to replace your current showpieces in a month or two. Essentially, this redecorates your home every time you revolve your collection, and you will enjoy your art much more.
