One of the great privileges of working in our field (among many) is witnessing how the artworks we exhibit go on to enliven and enrich the private lives of collectors. There is a great deal of pride and connoisseurship in deciding what works they choose to adorn their interiors, and it never fails to fascinate us. A smartphone shot of someone’s living room is more than enough to illustrate their inner curator.
For this first edition of A Collector’s View, we were warmly invited into the beautiful home of a local, someone who has created a salon-like refuge in their Fitzroy Falls home. Every wall, bookshelf, and piece of furniture reflects their eclectic passions and influences. Carried along with me were a selection of available works from the Michael Reid Southern Highlands stockroom, which can be found dotted throughout these images.
