Just the thought of owning Warhol's Annie Oakley makes me twitch with joy.

one i would be able to paint myself...:)

I will one day own a Basquiat.....mark my words.

chrisvanceart.com

he's local (for me) and if i could ever save up enough, i would knock on his door and buy everything i could.

If I ever had an Edward Hopper painting, I'd die of joy.

(Never going to happen, of course.)

I really really want a Richard Phillips, but I already have some prints or originals of some name artists just because no one really seems to want to collect African artists in my area. So when they pop up at auctions or in galleries, I can get them for a relative steal. My mother, however, has a Diego Rivera. Not a print. A painting.

Wayne Thiebaud's Girl in White Boots in my living room would be the. ultimate.

All I want is a poster or print of a Spanish comic book artist, who did some large scale oil paintings of locations in Madrid, Spain, that are exquisite. His name is Montesol and if anyone can find how to buy prints of his, I'll give you a gold star.

Well, since I have an art background and I covet too many artists to even THINK of listing them, I will comment that (not being a millionaire) I satisfy my art cravings with original art of varying quality from thrift stores and flea markets. If I like it and I can see the hands of the artist, I don't care if they are famous, or even top quality -- but I rarely spend more than $10 anyhow. It's kind of a game, and I have a fair number of works obtained that way.

It's not the same as owning an Albers, but it makes me happy anyhow!

I have some serigraphs by known artists, it's all i can afford at the moment.

But my dream piece is a Demetre Chiparus sculpture....he was an art deco master and his most famous pieces are a combination of bronze-ivory-marble.

"jweddel" I have a serigraph by a very famous spanish designer, Javier Mariscal, I'm sure you know who he is, he has some art works available through an online gallery (I got mine there, very reliable, the print comes with provenance and all) you should check it out.

I'm in love with ephemera. If I could, I'd plaster every wall in my home with old maps, salvaged subway signs, ancient concert posters, vintage advertising, etc.

Some day a Z.Z. Wei will hang on a wall at my house!

One day I will own a piece of Preston Singletary glass. It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.

This isn't exactly a huge dream or anything, but my sister is a great painter and photographer. I always love getting gifts from her at Christmas to hang in my house!

If I someday become a bajillionaire, I'd want a Rothko. If this somehow fails to happen, I have been craving an Elizabeth Slomka piece --

Funny you should ask because one of my dream artworks is a portrait of my goat, which I called about this afternoon, because he is getting old.
Also would love a Fred Tomaselli, a Dustin Yellin and a Johnny Swingle and since this is fantasy, Rousseau's The Dream and some Thiebaud cakes

Correction, Johnny Swing http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/littlegorgeousthings_2156_126625697

I would like some Chihully glass, a sculpture by Niki de Saint-Phalle, and maybe a painting by Jasper Johns or Helen Frankenthaler.

Or, I'd love an Early American primitive portrait of children or a mother and child by some anonymous itinerant painter.

Many, many pieces!

Prints (wood cuts, intaglios, lithos, etc.) in general are more attainable, especially if the print in mind is part of a large edition. One of the perks of being a printmaker is having the opportunities to participate in print exchanges. I get to go home with some neat prints every once ina while--some of which I have framed and put up in my home.

But, if I had the discipline to commit myself to save up money for several years, I would purchase a Hokusai. Japanese wood cuts are my favorite!

An important early 19th century photograph. Like something by William Henry Fox Talbot- on paper.

Otherwise an Albers is right up there :)

Or anything by Joan Mitchell, Agnes Martin, Gerhard Richter... some of my favorite painters.

A whole wall installation done by Beatriz Milhazes...or even just a canvas:)

It's not famous, but I would love to decorate a room in watercolors by Alison Fennell - it's an Etsy shop I've been eyeing and drooling.

They're really reasonable; I just procrastinate because I paint most of my own decorations...

I'm a private art dealer, and I certainly can't always afford to smoke the dope I peddle, there are more and more sources for affordable editioned works everyday.

For instance, Greige, Works on Whatever / the Art Production Fund has some great Richard Phillips multiples on canvas that have the feeling of original paintings (only $250):

http://www.worksonwhatever.com/propart.aspx

And there is Exhibition A, which also has been doing the editioned works on canvas thing too, also at affordable prices:

http://www.exhibitiona.com/pages/home.aspx

These works may never really appreciate in value, but I'm a fan of these editions because they're often much more affordable and have more impact than a print framed up with glass.

I looove Albers in general, and the prints can really can be quite affordable... Once I sold this set, "Formulation: Articulation," which is comprised of 127 prints -- the two volumes were $2,000. Break that up between ten friends, everyone can have 12+ prints for $200!

Be careful, these furniture / design websites aren't always the best places to buy art, they'll really milk you sometime. Fab.com, which I adore for home furnishings, has offered not-authentic, inspired-by Warhol prints, which were really glorified posters.

Having some serious envy over that Josef Albers. Good job!

anything by camille rose garcia.

I'd love a Monet or Basquiat or Picasso but right now the image that's probably most affordable and haunts me (I'd love to identify/buy it) is the one featured in Christine's Sausalito Skylights:

http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/sf/small-cool-2011/christines-sausalito-skylights-small-cool-2011-144991

Mary Silverwood landscapes. I have one, but OMG I want more! http://www.ventanafineart.com/inventorypage.asp?tid=2&aid=49

I would love, love, love an original Banksy. God, that would make me happier than life itself!!!

As an artist, I love art and covert too much to list.

However, my husband an I just bought our first house and put aside a small amount of money to furnish it. Before we knew it we had blown a large proportion of our budget on a print by one of our favourite artists Cornelia Parker
(http://www.alancristea.com/collectionimages.php?a=69&g=423 - Worry lines no.7).
It has made us so happy!!! even if we are sitting on the floor ;0)
I have regretted many a purchase, but never an art one.

every since in my Psyc class i was informed there is such thing as an 'art addict' (akin to, drug addict, depression, ADHD...other mental diesease) I have CURBED my desire to aquire all things pretty. I am happy to live 'zen' now. sure, my walls are more plain... but i rather be normal than crazy. ..sorry folks. in my 'matter of fact' mood. (happens few days each month)

In my case David Downtown prints (I don't even dare dream of an original!) and the Oras wall mobiles are what I drool over *le sigh*

I like many types of art..but, if I had a gazillion dollars, anything Van Gogh, or any great impressionist painting. I visited The Barnes Foundation in PA last year..and I'll take any one of those pieces. The New Hope, PA artists' colony back in the beginning to mid 20th century had some beautiful pieces, too.

Eyvind Earle. Anything mountain or ocean.

emmelemm, I love Edward Hopper too. Automat has been a favorite of mine for years.

But if I was gonna spend a ton of money on an artist's work it would probably be a Thomas Kinkade piece that has the lighting and everything. They have a gorgeous glow. One with rain or snow. They just make me happy to look at no matter how often I see them. I like to be surrounded with things that make me feel good.

One or two Hudson River Valley oils on perforated steel panels by David Bierk.

And then some works from a couple of my teachers -- Arthur Nishimura and Noboru Sawai.

There are many many more, starting with Sally Mann and her Louisiana landscapes.

The Requiem for a Planet series:

And besides the Deep South works, these:

There are just so many... but my wish list includes

Cindy Sherman, Barbara, Kruger, Mike Kelley, Sophie Calle, Marilyn Minter, Olafur Eliasson, Lovette/Codagnone, Richard Prince, Sarah Lucas, Vanessa Beecroft, Gilbert and George, Catherine Opie (dont recall if she's a kathryn), Sol le Witt, Fred Tomaselli, and I could keep going on and on... so I'll stop.
