One of the things I always find myself noticing is the art they choose to live with and work amid (and, as significantly, what they don't). Many artists amass their collections through trades: The walls in their spaces are a biography of their friendships, their peers, their mentors and students.
But does an artist's home reflect their own work? Usually, but often not directly; in the photographer Sheree Hovsepian and the multidisciplinary artist Rashid Johnson's New York City townhouse, for example, you can find evidence of Hovsepian's sense of shadow and subtlety, as well as Johnson's restless intelligence, love of abstraction and unwillingness to be faithful to any single genre or medium.
