WE ALL
COLLECT
SOMETHING.
Coupons, stamps, love letters, or rubber bands from the Sunday paper. Some of
us collect art. Unlike many of our more neurotic collections it is our art
that we proudly display. But, in fact, others rarely see our art collections except for the occasional dinner party with friends. At my home our friends have
grown accustomed to reclining under the large
Sean Connaughty
oil painting with wine glass in hand, occasionally looking up to find
something new in the work. Or, once in a while a well-intentioned
Clean Water
Action Committee solicitor catches a glimpse of the
Jaime Hayon platter we’ve proudly hung as the first thing you see when entering our home.


There was a time when there were more dinners at my house, and a time when there were more dinner invitations. Those invitations to dinners flowed into evenings, and the evenings turned into nights filled with conversations about the art in our homes.


So with that in mind, we here at
mplsart.com are pleased to introduce
Art on the Wall, a new series of conversations
we’re producing with mnartists.org.
Each month we will present an intimate, informative, and enjoyable
introduction to the collections around us…think of it as an invitation to
the dinner party.


Our first interview
invites you into the home of
FOX
News broadcaster, Robyne Robinson. As you browse through the work she’s
collected, you’ll see names of familiar artists, artworks that you’ll feel you
recognize, and undoubtedly something entirely new. Robyne’s art collection
spans international lines but her greatest interest is in supporting local
artists.


We hope you enjoy the
tour.
