A collection can be consider by only having a couple pieces of art or many. To me it doesn't matter how many. I have always wanted to collect art. I would love to collect sculptures and paintings, but mostly just from the famous painters and sculptures like Van Gough or H.R. Giger. I know that if I saved some money I could go onto H.R. Giger's website and purchase some of his sculptures or paintings. I could also search online for new artists works. I believe that the collector has a responsibility for the art that they collect. For instance, they need to frame it properly or cover it so that it doesn't fade the drawing. They also need to have a certain level of respect for the work that the artist puts into their prices.
Taking a look back at Herb and Dorothy amazes me on how many pieces of art they obtained through the years. They are true collectors in a sense that they believe in the art that they buy. They cherish it in all aspects. They make me want to collect a few pieces of art. I would never dream to be able to own as much art as they do, but it would be interesting to own a few paintings. Like the one below.
