The Paper Bigelow Art Collection

Welcome to the Paper-Bigelow art collection. This is an example of how Pixeum can help a collector to share the stories of their collection. And in this sequence, I’m going to share just a few of the items in our collection. Eleanor and I love art and maps, but, more than that, we love the artists who created these works. We love their stories and their inspiration. And we especially love the story of how we came to purchase each piece and how each piece inspires us.Tom Papertom@pixeum.orgLink to Item Listing PDF
