On April 8th, we got to visit a private collection turned into a private gallery of sorts, and it was definitely one of my favorite field trips we've been on. I loved the wide variety of works, sculpture, painting, and some with stories like the Philadelphia Wire Man whose identity is still unknown. I think it is really cool that we got to see behind the scenes of art collecting and the major investments art collectors make into certain artists. Some of my favorite pieces I saw would be by Sonya Clark, Mariko Mori, and I really enjoyed the self-portrait as an iguana (done by a VCU sculpture student). I also thought it was cool how they had a piece by Amy Sherald, who did Michelle Obama's Official Portrait, and I had seen one of her paintings at someone's house earlier, before she had become famous due to the portrait. I think this was a very unique experience and showed the diversity of art being made and a wide array of themes and materials that definitely will serve as inspiration moving forward.
