What’s more important when collecting art? Love, passion or finances?
Andrea Klein
Private Art Collector
When Andrea moved to Cincinnati and purchased a home a few years ago, she wanted to fill it with beautiful things. As a passionate wine collector, she built an entire wall to house her wines, but then there were multiple opportunities for art too. An expansive layout with many floors meant she could do many wonderful new art installations to accompany the art she already owned. In her session, she will share photos of her beautiful home and tell you why collecting art is an important part of her life.
