a living art gallery

An amazing book of an incalculable collection of original art pieces from the masters of different eras and continents, in science fiction and fantasy art. This couple has done a great service to the genre and tastefully hung this essemblage of the wild and fantastic. There is not another collection quite like it, unless you visit the homes of these individual artists. Get this book to foray into another world of art and learn about some of the past and current masters.

"A SHOWCASE OF THE WORLD'S FINEST FANTASTIC ART"

A great book for sci-fi and fantasy art fans everywhere. The Franks have probably collected the biggest aray of sci-fi and fantasy art by an individual couple.This book goes through room by room and describes the different pieces of artwork of "THE COLLECTION" that the Franks have collected throughout the years. Including ancedotes of some of the pieces that they have aquired. Some are the original paintings of book covers, others are commissioned paintings that they have had done. By well known and unknown artists alike. The Franks are big supporters in the art field and are constantly standing up for artists and their rights. Helping donate money and time for art organizations that are in desperate need. To even helping out that artist to create his inspired idea that they may have been unable to do by helping to finance the project.If you ever wanted a book with a very diverse and representative of many influential artists of the genre this book is it. And then realize that it collected all by one couple...AMAZING!
