Mel Roman: Coming Out Under Fire | SMoCA May 21 – Oct 2, 2016
Art completes a beautiful home like jewelry completes your outfit. Whether a dramatic oil painting, Pop Art print, or framed illustration, art in the home reveals something about you and your style.
If you’re not a Christie’s or Sotheby’s frequent shopper or have a private dealer that you turn to for those fabulous pops of color, works by the likes of Basquiat and Hirst are likely a little out of your reach. Happily, iconic artwork has made its way outside the frame and onto everything from porcelain to wallpaper to deck chairs, thanks to museum shops such as Phoenix Art Museum, Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Heard Museum.
Here are 6 creative ways to incorporate museum-quality art into your home.
