So what is the interest in seeing office / studio / workshop clutter? I find three main interests. (1) I am interested in hints at how someone works. Very roughly, Piaget mostly reads or travels. Williams builds wild breadboards and is not scared to throw test equipment at it. Steve Jobs keeps 25 projects up in the air. Calder manipulates stuff. But there is lots and lots of detail in many of these pics and they are interesting and inspiring. (2) Inspiration is a precious thing. The exhibitionist studio lets me in. The bookshelf lets me browse. It is technical ideas (process or organization) and also hints at what I might want to try. (3) When visiting artist studios, I want to be let in their technical process. Partly it's curiosity and culture, partly it's for my inspiration, partly I'm sightseeing.
There is a fundamental difference with the hoarding / depression look.
