New collector ✨
I, like many others on the Collective, have only recently started my collection. Having been with AA since March, I've been fortunate enough to be exposed to a number of amazing works and artists... but where do I start?? I'd love to hear some of your stories around how you started your collections as well as any top tips on what I should be buying with a limited budget 🖼
Thank you! I've certainly found myself going down some instagram rabbit holes recently haha

I would say, especially now, don't chase something because of FOMO. There will be a good time to buy. My first purchase is one I have a bit of a love hate relationship with. The artist changed style a bit and has more of a style that speaks to me less than before. However, in isolation I still like the piece and it reminds me of New York where I spent some time. Since then I got a few things from Avant arte and a few other prints and learned another lesson: if you buy everything framed you run out of space real fast haha. So now I try to be more selective, accumulate a little higher budget (given the space limitations) and besides that I buy prints with the idea to maybe have some framed in the future depending how they fit my apartment and how they speak to me after some time.
