I am so happy for you Hanneke that you have found a great place like this to exhibit! It must feel very original as an artist feels its work unique should showed as this. Any opportunities for young artists like me as well ;-)? This sounds soooo cool, very autonomous and avant-garde!!!

The show was of 10 prints made from the slides my parents had taken of our family in the same living room. The neighbors, new and old, were invited. It never happened.

Which makes it a really good find for you! Hanneke, That is true I am sure, that his art fits in the environment he has created. Which makes it a really good find for you!

This is part of the magic of Maurice's gallery: his stuff somehow fits with the artwork he shows. Not every home gallery is like this. Tracy,

Your reasoning makes a lot of sense. This is part of the magic of Maurice’s gallery: his stuff somehow fits with the artwork he shows. Not every home gallery is like this.

When I look back over my art purchases, it's clear that I've bought out of homes and studios compared to galleries on something of a six to one ratio. Hey Hanneke,

This is cool.

And not because I have not shopped in the other kinds, because I have (I shop everywhere:-)). I think it's because when I look at a painting in a gallery, there are no connotations that come along with it, except for its own of course, because of the clean, sterile atmosphere surrounding it. When looking at art in a more home-like atmosphere all kinds of connections will stay with the piece, distractions, other decorative objects etc. Certainly when I hang the piece on my wall, all of those things exist, but they are MY things, so perhaps that its the difference. Not sure if this train of thought makes any sense! After recalling my art buying habits over the years, I realized that nearly all of the work I have purchased has been from a traditional gallery.
