I had the chance of visiting a very unusual art gallery recently. It was started many years ago by a man who commissioned an artist to paint a picture of the building which housed his company so he could use it as a Christmas card.
He repeated the experience and the project grew from there. He now has an imposing collection of works all depicting the Avmor building. He moved the company to other premises but kept the old building for his offices and art gallery. It is a wonderful house.
As the owner is full of whimsy he decided at some point to give a white tie to every artist he commissioned and asked them to paint the tie. The ties now fill a room…they are amazing in their diversity.
