issues are all expected by connoisseurs, but above all else it must be
well painted. Unless an Art-work has value to the Artist it is unlikely
that anyone else will value it either.
Loren Adams is reluctant to part with his originals and has kept many of
his favorites over the past 25 years. He prefers to sell Limited Editions
prints of these paintings and keep the originals for the Loren Adams
Museum of Fine Art, several “aren’t for sale at any price!” They are all
like his children and he needs to feel certain he would enjoy visiting his
children in a collectors home before he’s willing to part with them.

Just because someone has money & can afford to buy Art does not
impress this Artist... some people will never have enough money to own
his Art-work. Collectors who are fortunate to purchase know they’re
adopting not just acquiring them. There is an undeniable responsibil-
ity that goes with collecting Fine Art, he painted them for the whole
world, not just for the wealthy.
However he doesn’t give them away either, when someone does col-
lect they pay handsomely in respectful figures because he wants them
to go to good homes where he knows they will be protected and well
cared for.
