2015 MSUB ASL Art Auction

There were a few pieces with strong compositional direction, such as the whale watercolor by Bonnie Beth. We made sure it went with the flow of traffic.
There were several pieces with similar subject matter that were broken up throughout the space.
I felt the art was well placed based on impact interest. The black/white and color pieces were intermixed.
The brightly colored pieces had the most visual weight or even some large pieces. The smaller &/or subtly colored pieces had less visual weight. I wouldn't put the most weighted right next to the less weighted unless that was the intent of the artist(s) or unless the weight difference was minimal. I would most likely begin with something intruging or snazzy but just enough to catch the interest. Then my decisions would be based on the space and how many pieces, etc.
There were a few vibrantly colored pieces, one of which began the show, the others were spread throughout the show.
