Thanks for the tip. I can purchase catalogs for between $5.00 and $15.00 at my venues. I can also preview the catalogs to see if they have plates worthy for purchase. I cut apart the catalogs, save the pages that inspire me and file them in separate portfolios for each artist. This and the ability to actually see the original paintings when they preview prior to the auction sale makes New York a very appealing place. Many of the paintings have been in private collections and have not been seen publicly for decades or more. Having access to this work is my greatest teacher.
