Art Collecting
Art collecting, whether you are a professional or
simply enjoy owning your favorite works of art, can be fun - and
is often profitable. For one, it is a joy to have art
that you really enjoy possessing and experiencing. You own something
tangible, rare, and precious. Second, the financial value of a sole
and prized art-piece surpasses inflation and increases in its monetary
value. Your wise choice also becomes a financial investment. Yet, the
most important rule for you is to be as educated as possible. Read,
learn, go to exhibitions, and talk with gallery owners and curators.
Eventually, you will become an expert - and you will enjoy the process.
In this section, we offer you advice from the experts, links to appraisers,
and sources for acquiring the art you choose.
If you have comments, suggestions, or more valuable links,
