Buying art can feel daunting. After all, like the books on our shelves, the art we display offers an undeniable window into our tastes (although I haven’t yet stooped to hanging a portrait of Miss Marple above my mantelpiece).
For years I was an art commitment-phobe, afraid to take a punt on a painting for fear of being judged clueless by my artist friends. And then one day something switched. I marched into a gallery brazenly declaring, “I want to buy some art”, and I haven’t stopped snapping up artworks since.
