Mar '06 - Sourcing and Commissioning Art

At The Fusion Gallery this month Pip and I, (Pip Bodkin, MA History of Art, our new Gallery Manager) have received numerous enquiries about sourcing art and commissioning art, so here are a few pointers:

Sourcing Art:

Derek Hare
Abaco Blue
Oils
107x107cm

Where can you find a piece of art that will be perfect for your home? We can offer you a unique combination of personal experience and expertise, and an extensive range of art, not just what you see on the Gallery walls and on the website, but we also have access to a wider portfolio of art. We can search art, by style, theme or artist. The first stage in selecting the artwork for your home or office would be for either Pip or myself, to visit you to assess the location for the art, and to discuss with you the most appropriate media. We would prepare a selection of art to show you, either at the Gallery or at your home for you then to make your choice. It really is that simple.

Commissioning Art:

Guy Portelli
Tango
Bronze
46cm

Commissioning art can be one of the most exciting and enjoyable parts of decorating your home. It presents an opportunity for a special relationship between gallery, artist and client. You may want a special piece of artwork to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or birth, a piece of sculpture as a focal point in your garden, or a painting for a room in your house in a particular style. We again will be able to offer you a selection of artists who are available for commission in the particular medium, style and price range that you would like, and we will guide you through the process and manage the commission from start to finish.

If you have any questions relating to art, Pip and I would be delighted to answer them, just forward them to info@thefusiongallery.com
