Collecting Original Art: ACEOs
ACEO's are a perfect way to collect original artwork. As collectors, we don't always have the space to put larger paintings or the money to buy larger works. Collecting Art Trading Cards is a pretty frugal way to amass a collection or original art. They are even cost effective when it comes to framing and they look wonderful when displayed in a grouping.
ACEOs are great. I like to look at them, hold them, own them and hang them on my walls even it's one that I've done myself, but especially when it's been created by another artist. I really enjoy having other artists paintings and have many of them on my walls. These are not all large works and certainly not always their best paintings, but they are real. The artist has touched it, thought about it, been personally involved with every decision it took to produce the piece and I can feel the creative energy in their artwork. I have never felt that way about a print.
ACEOs have allowed me to add to my meager collection of original art and I treasure each one I have. I have one wall in my home set aside for small format art. The largest piece I have in this group is a12x16, a few are 8x10 or so, but most are ACEOs, which fit in beautifully with these other small paintings and give some variety and interest because of their size.
I'm far from being the only one who enjoys these small artworks. There are many of us who are adding to our collections of original art by buying these small format pieces, collecting the works of our favorite artists and displaying them creatively. Art trading cards make it possible for many people to amass a collection of original artwork and we will enjoy the miniature pieces of art we have collected for years to come.
