I love both they’re energies - two bosses! I love it, very inspiring ❤️

[@JaBlanche]

Lovely place and great collection. Good to see collectors in Toronto.

[@Finearts_]

U guys were fooled buying that art , speaking as a person who has a PHD in art criticism

[@JohnJSteinbeck]

Great collection, especially the Matisse drawing, love the hotel. Ps. Can I suggest that the ‘expresso pot art’ maybe be hung in the kitchen, rather than the bathroom … just a thought.

[@sherylsrivastava1319]

what a fabulous collection! I love it when collectors engage in sculpture so perfect in your space. If you ever get to West Palm I would love to share my collection with you as well. Enjoy and thank you for sharing

[@d.l.7399]

The jacket! It's art, because it fits in no point. Great!!

[@maxsmart99]

I went to grade school with David. his name popped into my head 55 years later.

[@gboules]

The Ray Parker painting is wonderful!!

[@george40nelson4]

Loved the collection..very nice couple ...did not like the balcony scenes...too scared of heights ! LOL

[@ron4501]

Collecting art is a very personal thing so I am not sure why there needs to be so many negative comments. They obviously love their collection and don't feel a need or have the resources to buy actual Picasso or Rothko paintings, but who does except for Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos. I think there are some jealous people commenting here.

[@henrylockett2020]

That's exactly what it is. I love art and sculpture as well, but if I was rich, I wouldn't spend all my money on them. I would do what this couple did. Buy some pieces I loved and admired and keep the rest of my money to continue affording my lifestyle 😊

[@majdavojnikovic]

Those huge names in art are mostly purchased for ego plus investment reasons. One can always sell a Picasso, at least for the price he bought it. True art collectors walk on a discovery path. They educate their taste and maybe even discover a new great artist. It is an addiction. One of better ones.

[@beautifulmanclub2512]

Is the entry way piece a Perehudoff?

[@IMAInteriors]

They have a beautiful house and you can tell that the furniture is of high quality, but the art... it is slightly too obvious (for what obnoxious people think is acceptable) A Matisse drawing is as expensive as a Picasso so... if they asked me, I´d stop buying big statement pieces to fill up spaces just cause they look like something they like but can´t afford yet (they´ve made their point a couple of times). I don't want to be rude but I think their collection is too nouveau riche (but hey, at least they have fun). Don´t know if it´s the way the video was edited but she just wants to be all over the place, interrupting him... maybe she was nervous about showing off but that´s just not graceful. And for the record I have a Matisse in my bathroom and a Picasso in my hallway (I´m a lucky guy), so... not hating, just saying :)

[@majdavojnikovic]

Your comment is little less graceful than their attitude. Especially the part about owning Picasso and Matisse... I assume that yours are also bigger. :))) I didn't see there anything special, including their Picasso and Mattise, even I like Hockney, but this one is mhhheee, but you can see that they really enjoy their collection, and that is quite lovely.

[@IMAInteriors]

@@majdavojnikovic hahaha nope, I mean... they are small, that´s why I´m on KZbin and not making millions or whatever... I inherited them, but I only said it cause some people might be like "oh, you´re just jealous" so, I am not... all I am saying is that their art collection looks a bit new money and that the way they edited the video makes her look like she wants to be all over the place. I agree with you, as long that they enjoy what they have =) so I shouldn´t say much about it. Have a good day!

[@darrellmccall6100]

I have a small Matisse as well. I DO NOT own a Picasso. I like this collection....compliments the space

[@davidbacon9223]

hopefully, this couple actually spends most of their time living 'rough' in their curtained parking space in the underground basement! leave the condo for the maid & cook to live in, bringing them whatever they need in the way of food & buckets of hot water.....

[@MrMsSihrus]

2:11 that piece is absolutely dumb

[@tandanielle3875]

I love it!

[@berealrelentless6237]

Did you listen to what they said, or just telling us YOUR opinion. Smh

[@татмит]

мазня...

[@14ariel77]

Pretentious, hideous pieces like the majority of modern art

[@fvkc-r-e_2_d_9th-pwr14]

Damn, that was third rate. Tripe and drivel.

[@beastieboy4717]

I liked this collection. They obviously have a lot of money, but opted to buy far cheaper art that resembled stuff from artist they liked, and opt for the smaller pieces.

[@vegandolls]

These people need their art spoon fed to them.

[@juliancoulden1753]

Extraordinary juxtaposition.......bland, typically neutral interiors, yet the couple are the most decorative items in it, bedecked in glorious technicolour! They are unquestionably the most attractive exhibits in this apartment

[@ziraprod6090]

Except he forgot to buy a new suit after he got all swol.

[@stuartsmith3825]

Thank you for sharing, we could never have seen these pieces. Who doesn’t have a Picasso in the bathroom, the collection is wonderful

[@nonel4515]

Awesome... Time to get a bigger suit.

[@lindamon5101]

Picasso in the bathroom. Perfect placement.

[@JamesSmithYoutube]

That Hockney print has a really severe warp roll in the lower left quadrant - it needs to be remounted. The small Cragg and Venet sculptures are rather meh pieces. That faux Rothko is really cheesy. Good idea to put an inexpensive Picasso print in the powder room - it looks well and since it's not high value, you don't have to worry about water or humidity damage...

[@davecahyo]

Beautiful collection. But I must say they disrespect Buddha by placing it in a bathroom. And please don't say it was stolen from a temple somewhere

[@change962]

Pathetic. Buddha is displayed in the bathroom and some strange rolled wires in the drawing room.

[@junerm21]

Thank you for showing us your home. You like very modern art in black, white, gray. I'm different. I prefer warm colors and a Mediterranean-style home.

[@Jacaranda25]

Everybody needs a Picasso in the bathroom! Amazing...

[@simoncrawley7430]

OMG, there are cashed up Bogans outside Australia...we are not alone.

[@anonymousfellowindian]

Ìnteresting work. Though I would have loved works with more colour. Lady's lovely yellow dress saves the day.

[@yusapyusap5353]

@ -1:17 the way she cut him off was horrendous and the look on his face,oh my.

[@oliviarobinson7402]

What an impressive apartment and art collection.

[@davidmayhew8083]

Nice, art in a art-bunker...

[@williamst71]

Nice collection. Looks like they live in an art museum. 🤗

[@kojoman75]

Hmmmmmm! I am thinking 2021 and the future for us Artists & Photographers is ONLINE MARKETING; FROM THE ARTIST STUDIO; TO THE COLLECTOR’S WALLS. What say you?

Compmaturism by Jacek Pokrak

[@alexchancock]

These guys have a really unappealing collection. Sterile cold and decorative but not lovable.

[@jayclause4674]

That last outside piece is pure crap, the korea art

[@majdavojnikovic]

They love it. Don't be rude about other people's children and art collections. :)

[@mcleanedwards7748]

Yuck

[@majdavojnikovic]

I like that photograph. But if I see another Budha head on a stick...

[@muzwot9603]

A great taste in art, this couple surprised me for some reason in this respect.

[@parampujara8735]

I am 20 and ican proudly say i am a mordern artist for 19 years

[@chuckandary7115]

Cool video but background music is to high, muffled the people s voice

[@marceltzara3253]

the Kentridge will be without doubt suffering in the bathroom!

[@Boss-qv8oy]

Thank you for showing us your collection.

[@project1811]

Korea rules! Thanks for collecting.

[@theapparelreportpodcasthos2274]

Watch in youtube. "filosofía cara caras baratas"............

[@AudiobookLibrary24-7]

Way to go!

[@philipdaelman1684]

Heel mooi

[@MG-jt4pk]

Although it is very kind of these people to open their home to publically expose their art collection, they own mostly mediocre prints from a small number of well-known artists. I was more impressed with their entertaining taste in clothing.

[@jacekpokrak9258]

For centuries, art has fascinated people. The sensitivity of the audience resulted from being stimulated by cultural events, social changes, wars, etc. This is how new directions in art emerged. Today's world needs something else, and that's why Compmaturism. The works of the Compmaturists relate to today's human needs; they are emotional, devoid of routine and calculation. They are filled with art juice. People loves Compmaturism

[@ladystarart888]

I got some great art🎨💎

[@pkdarts]

Nice for you than

[@ivanklymenko]
