At home:  “Fine Art” takes the form of painting, drawing, sculpture among a few of the categories. Artists have been creating art for exhibition which is often placed in galleries for purchase by interested buyers. These object d’ art are often displayed in someone’s home, and, perhaps later, find their way into museums (e.g. Gertrude Stein)
