ART IS FOR REAL PEOPLE NOT JUST "CULTURE SNOBS"
New book promotes emerging artists

ART IN KING SIZE BEDS: A COLLECTOR'S JOURNAL
(WWW.ARTINKINGSIZEBEDS.COM or AuthorHouse.com)

Many people think art collectors are old, wealthy, highly-cultured snobs, but did you know that you don't have to be old or rich to be an art collector?

Finally, a first of its kind, contemporary art book proves it.  Art for REAL PEOPLE.  "Art In King Size Beds: A Collector's Journal" reveals that time and passion are the most valuable assets for art enthusiasts.  It's a hip, yet approachable book written from the layman perspective.  This is not your grandma's art book.

"Sure, if most people were wealthy, they could afford to buy any art they desired," said author Michael K. Corbin.  "But most people aren't wealthy, so why not seek out new, up and coming artists?  Corbin believes that emerging artists represent the most exciting sector of the art world today.  So many people don't realize that great art is within their reach," he said.  "This book celebrates the work of living artists who create breathtaking work, but they're struggling and believe it or not, their work is affordable.  Pablo Picasso doesn't need anymore exposure, but these living artists sure do."

Corbin has built an entire collection featuring the works of emerging artists.  Stunning illustrations highlight this engaging book.  However, "Art In King Size Beds: A Collector's Journal" is also a warm, witty and enlightening memoir that focuses on life, museums, galleries, travel and people.  It's a fun ride through contemporary art.

Michael K. Corbin is a broadcast journalist, avid art collector, writer, runner and yoga enthusiast.  He is a New York City native and frequently travels in search of new art and artists.
