I have never had my own money, its our money. we spend it on what we want I dont think I could do 'my own money' . where do people get their own money from? How does it become your own money? I just buy the bits and she nods knowingly. she buys all her stuff that always costs about ยฃ20 and i nod knowingly. we ignore bank statements as thats the best way to keep a relationship Bad mistake!!!
I don't know if it is a mistake, It doesn't feel like it. Works for us

It then gets hung in the basement never to be seen again.

Buying art Does anyone solicit input from your sig others?, by Daylight Robber on Jul 6, 2018 21:37:54 GMT 1, Thinking I must be in a minority. I generally find stuff I think we'd both like, I show it to the Mrs and if we're agreed, we buy it with our money. If she doesn't, no great shakes, we move on and find something else we'll both like.

Buying art Does anyone solicit input from your sig others?, by Jaylove on Jul 6, 2018 22:38:02 GMT 1, I wish I could get my wife on board with paying for art but it doesn't work. I'll ask her how she feels about a particular print and it's usually:
"It's OK" or "no"
Those are the only 2 responses. Sometimes she'll say "I like it". I'll buy it and then she'll say "It's OK". LOL, I think she's trolling me sometimes!

It takes years of hard work/training.. I remember I went to the gym at 5 am here in OZ to call Fiona at Elms in London to reserve a parla st Giles print. The 750 pound then appeared on our credit card ๐ she had a pop at me for a while but loves the print and still up on the wall...

On the rare occasion she doesnโt like something Iโm ok with not hanging it because sheโs cool enough about it overall.

Buying art Does anyone solicit input from your sig others?, by shy on Jul 7, 2018 2:29:56 GMT 1, well, this is a tough one to answer. Especially if you love a piece and your hubby or wife doesn't. I say go for it and let the chips fall as they may. Your significant other may or may not allow you to hang it in your home but worst case you can store it.... but at least you nabbed the art you wanted!

Buying art Does anyone solicit input from your sig others?, by GMA on Jul 7, 2018 2:47:20 GMT 1, Lucky for me my wife is into it too and loves it when I show her a new potential piece for the walls. She also takes an interest in the artist and loves looking at the details of the print. We redecorated the whole of downstairs again, purely to allow the prints to pop (hate using that word but it's fitting) She's never told me no you can't buy that, but will make it known if she doesn't like it or doesn't want it hung. With this and her taste in music amongst other shared interests were like two peas in a pod

Buying art Does anyone solicit input from your sig others?, by kuni on Jul 7, 2018 2:48:36 GMT 1, Girlfriend and I both make about the same amount. She pays all the bills and handles the finances. I give her a good chunk of change every month and she covers all the month to month bills. We have separate accounts for whatโs left over from our respective checks and she buys clothes and I buy art. Sometimes I pay for dinner sometimes she does but nobody is keeping tabs and it all comes out in the wash.
As for art, Cleon Peterson is pretty much the only artist whoโs been relegated to a remote guest bedroom. I kept telling her that the image of a woman having her throat cut and buried alive would grow on her but surprisingly she hasnโt warmed to it yet.
Bear Face was a tough sell, she questioned whether I was using hallucinogens again, but now sheโs a fan and it hangs proudly in the living room.
I hang the art when sheโs out of the house and half the time she doesnโt even notice until a month later. If ever.

Buying art Does anyone solicit input from your sig others?, by Pavoni on Jul 7, 2018 6:40:27 GMT 1, Most of the time she is fine with it, even when not excited about, doesn't understand the piece.
Was not very willing to allow me to hang these, so I sold them on to a copyright lawyer: (in her defense, they are quite large).

Buying art Does anyone solicit input from your sig others?, by Deleted on Jul 7, 2018 9:06:38 GMT 1, I should have listened to my missus long ago! She was trying to buy me a stik when they were ยฃ2500.
We have subsequently picked hirst, Harland, Connor bros together for specific rooms and will both enjoy them.
The stuff I buy without discussion tends to stay off the walls ๐ฅ.
Even the legend canโt defeat the power of a woman!

Truth is she was an Art History major so most of what she likes is over 200 years old and I don't think Goya will be putting out a limited edition print any time soon... Oddly enough however she did take a sudden liking to my urban art purchases after we sold two Invader pieces to Taglialatella!

Buying art Does anyone solicit input from your sig others?, by Red Barron on Jul 7, 2018 15:06:11 GMT 1, This will sound odd, but my wife picks the animals, I pick the art. Every time a new adopted cat or dog shows up, I get to buy (or upgrade) something new for the wall. And vice versa. So not winning the Pejac lottery probably saved me a new puppy from the shelter!
