A management company between individual artists and art consumers is a good idea. I could even see them coming over once every couple months and changing all the art on all your walls as a regular service, stuff that they selected online. Insurance is the issue, but +. |

This exists in many large cities. Try a google search for "art" and "rental" and maybe the name of a nearby urban area. |
|

It did exist at the Indiana Museum of Art in Indianapolis, Indiana,
USA some years ago if not still. |

It would be nice o rent a nude performance art. |

Hey! How about renting a stay in your studio? |
|
| |
My hometown public library in the late '60s had a modest (~250 pcs for a town of 6000) collection of paintings which could be borrowed for 90 days, renewable unless someone else had made a request. |
|
| |
I think there was a card catalog of polaroid photos of the paintings, and some means of categorization. |
|
| |
Isn't this a bit like saying "After three of four servings
of my lobster stew, customers start to be able to
taste the lobster"? |
|
| |
If I have to do art, I want it to come right out and say
"This is a haywain" or whatever. If I have to figure it
out for myself I don't consider it good value. |

A few months ago I saw a painting I Just Had To Have. Except I didn't have enough cash on me and my bankcard account was titsup. I only head out that way a couple times a year: perhaps it will still be there. It would have been nice to just rent to own. |
|
| |
Meanwhile artwork rental is a known business. |
|

// I didn't have enough cash on me// But I bet you
had a phone camera and a colour printer. |
|
| |
You just lost that bet, on both counts : I've managed to eschew cellphones so far* and, while I do have a printer, it's an A3 black & white laser that dims the lights when it starts up*. |
|
| |
The painting was of a native warrior silhouetted on a sunrise/set. Crudely executed, but poignant. |
|
| |
* I have, however, spent much time teasing salesdroids of same, but my list of demands is always longer than their list of so-called features. |
|
| |
* okay, maybe the lights don't dim (much) but it is quite the production of whirring and clanking. Prints good once it's settled in, though. |
