When I think back to my memories of childhood Christmases so many years ago, I see the tree my father and I decorated on Christmas Eve.

Alex Anisimov has a solution to the problem so many of us have. We love art, but new works are expensive, and we don’t really have any more room for them anyway. Anisimov has created a new way for locals to solve this problem: pick a spot where you are willing to rotate your art and rent one of his paintings.
