After buying furniture and other household essentials, who wants to spend money on overpriced artwork? Still, you need something to cover the plain walls in your apartment. There’s a simple solution: prints. They're not as expensive as original works, yet even big-name artists produce print editions, like Humza Deas' amazing rooftop photos and David Choe's pizza prints. It's the next best thing to stealing original artwork.
