How important is original art in a project? Baer: Art is critical. And I think it’s important to remember that art does not necessarily have to mean expensive. It should mean what you love. It really should be about collecting the pieces of art that integrate with something that speaks to you, which is different for all of us.
Jenkins: Bringing meaningful art into the home is such an important step in the design process, one that often determines much of the work we do in a space. Our clients often have certain pieces that are personally very meaningful, and so we work to ensure that the fabrics, palette, furniture, and textures are complementing the art and never fighting it.
How about art-buying tips for homeowners? Jenkins: As Klaus said, first and foremost, what do you love? If you’re able to collect what you love, then you’re going to enjoy looking at the art every single day. And then it’s extraordinarily important that you look at art in the context of the environment where it’s being placed. There is a magic that happens when you put the right art within the right place. And if you don’t, the art’s not going to sing as much as it could. Understanding scale, understanding the size, understanding the palette, understanding the color, the content—all those things are really important. Baer: Changing a frame—for instance, from contemporary to traditional—can really change the way you experience the piece of art. So even though that’s a little detail, it’s a big detail. wrjdesign.com
