Pablo Picasso once said, “Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.” If that is true then Renee Coates (www.reneecoates.com) is making an original entry each week. After building success as an artist Coates wanted art lovers who wouldn’t usually have the opportunity to own one of her original prints, to have the chance to. That is how 52 pieces was born.
The 52 pieces project allows admirers of Coates art to spend a few hundred dollars rather than a couple thousand on an original piece. Every week Coates creates an original 6” x 6” oil painting and puts it on eBay for anyone to bid on. Each month Coates changes up the theme for her weekly paintings.
