This Is the Secret, Designer-Approved Source You Haven’t Heard About Yet for Art
(JAN 2024)
above: Agreement Between Certain Things, by Alyson Khan (collaboration with Four Hands Furniture)
If you’re looking for art that’ll function more like an exclamation point in a room — and Apartment Therapy’s 2023 designer survey did predict that statement art is about to overtake the gallery wall in popularity — check out the works of artist Alyson Khan. Her 40-inch by 60-inch, mega abstract geometric Agreement Between Things (shown above) is just over $1,000.
In general, art tends to be on the splurgier side of the home purchase spectrum, especially when you’re supporting someone making a living doing what they love (either directly or through a marketplace that’s dedicated to discovering talent). Whether you spend a lot or a little on a piece though, if it truly strikes a chord in you, it’ll bring so much personality to your space that it’ll earn its keep on your walls in spades.
