I wish I could live like these people do. I was honestly amazed right when we walked in. We were immediately met with this huge piece by Khinde Wiley, I was honestly confused as to how they got it because I wasn't expecting this to be such an official gallery considering it was someone's personal collection. As we walked through we talked about how one can have a personal collection of art. I was amazed of the amount of things that seem so obvious but I had never thought of, like how a working artist will not sell their work to someone unless they know they have the space for it and how overtime when you own a piece the price may continue to rise depending on the success of the artist, meaning you have to update the insurance often My favorite pieces were the sculptures created by the Philadelphia Wire Man. Not only because of the unique use of wire but I was intrigued by the story, which was why I was so excited to have him as my artist spotlight. My other favorite piece was one we did not get to discuss, and I sadly did not get the chance to ask about it. I fell in love with the graffiti on the wall and I wished I had asked about the story behind it. This was one of my favorite art trips or field trips in general that I've ever been on, and I hope one day I get to come back and see the new pieces they have laid out (because I saw their grates filled with too many other pieces to count, and I assume they rotate them as much as they can)
