Collecting begins with attention, not acquisition. Spend time noticing which works continue to return to mind after the first encounter, and what kind of questions they leave open.
Look before you narrow
A useful budget creates clarity, but it should not become the only filter. Medium, scale, condition, framing, and the practical reality of a work in your space all matter. A curator can help translate those considerations without turning the experience into a sales script.
Choose a work because your relationship with it is still developing—not because the decision has been made urgent.
Ask for the complete record
Before acquiring, confirm authorship, medium, dimensions, condition, signature, edition details where relevant, provenance, certificate, location, shipping method, insurance, taxes, and return terms. In this prototype, those fields are shown on every artwork page to demonstrate the intended LINE Curated standard.
