NAPLES, Florida, Apr. 22, 2008
-- Many people are so intimidated by art that they won't
even walk into an art museum or gallery. However, art is for
everyday people, not just wealthy or highly-cultured collectors.
Michael K. Corbin proves it with his brand new, color-illustrated
book, The Art of Everyday Joe: A Collector's Journal (published by
AuthorHouse).
"So many people don't realize that artists today
actually want people to see and buy their work," says Corbin.
"There's no need for people to be afraid of art. I want to
bridge the gap between struggling artists and people who
erroneously believe that you have to be a snob to become an art
collector."
Picking up where his first book, Art in King Size Beds:
A Collector's Journal, leaves off, Corbin takes readers on yet
another thrilling ride through the world of contemporary art,
sharing his experiences as an avid art collector.
"I'm an Everyday Joe and I wrote this book for the
Everyday Joe. Art enriches the lives of everyone regardless of their
station in life."
With his engaging and witty style, Corbin guides readers
through the rewards of art collecting and introduces them to
emerging artists from all over the world.
He proves that people can afford to collect art on even
modest incomes. "Yet ultimately," says Corbin, "The Art of
Everyday Joe: A Collector's Journal shows readers the role that art
plays in their everyday lives and they may not even realize it."
Corbin gives readers a delightfully fresh, warm and
down-to-earth look at life, art, the art world, artists,
collecting, people and issues of the day. It's a storybook
complete with large, full-color photographs of works from his
own collection. It's also a true memoir of the dazzling power
of art and the role that it plays in society. The Art of
Everyday Joe: A Collector's Journal is another fun trip that begins
at the intersection of art and life.
Michael K. Corbin is an author, full-time broadcast
journalist, yoga enthusiast and runner. He's a New York City native
who now lives in Indianapolis and travels far and wide for
art's sake. He also writes regularly for www.absolutearts.com.
