While on vacation this past week, I invested in two works from Alexandra Nechita and one from Michael Godard. The Nechitas are HUGE — I believe they will displace some other art we currently have up (my guess is the Bergstroms and maybe one of the Barnes will move). But I've got a nice little spot for the Godard already. Of Godard, some say "You may love him, you may hate him, but EVERYBODY looks at his work." He is very popular. Alexandra Nechita was discovered when she was NINE. Given the moniker "The Petite Picasso" for her abstract works, she is now in her twenties and working on a master's degree... in art. Her original works sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars (and believe me, her seriolithographs aren't cheap, either)... no pressure, prof!
What I liked about each: The Godard is just plain fun; One of the Nechitas is, as I see it, a tribute piece to my mother (just don't tell her!); my wife connected with the other Nechita fairly strongly — also through family ties, though not quite as personally.
