Famous Versus Emerging Artists.


There are many online art galleries which one can access to on the internet. It becomes difficult to select artworks and one is confused as to whom to approach for the deals and many buyers hesitate to buy from unknown sources.

The internet survey will put up a list of many art galleries that have displayed works online and promote artists from around the world. If you are the buyer of art for the first time then it is advisable that you think about your priorities first. You want to buy art for displaying in your home or for investment purposes. Usually it is for both the reasons that one comes to a decision of buying art.  Though any art work will appreciate in value over time but still reputed artists and famous artworks are definitely going to increase in market value over time. But here when you are buying paintings of famous artists then it will not come cheap. Paintings of famous artists are highly priced and you will end up buying a much smaller work than intended. If you want paintings in affordable range then new and emerging artists works can be bought. These will be cheaper and their value will increase over time.
If money is not the issue and you are purchasing art solely for investment purposes then you can go in for senior artists artworks that are available with reputed art galleries. Sometimes auction houses and art galleries also have famous artworks on sale. On selecting artworks always keep your personal likes and preferences as the first criteria for selection. You don't want to purchase a painting after paying a substantial amount that has ended up in the attic or store room because you are not comfortable viewing it for long. If you like works of emerging and new artists and the art gallery and artist give authentication certificate then any painting will do as long as it catches your attention.
First criteria .your likes , then your budget, then select from where you will buy, then any preferences for artists like symbolic, abstract, landscape artists etc.

All the Best from Rizwana!

Is Art Good Investment for the Common Man?

Art for ages has been the forte of elite and upper class and there is always discussion regarding art buying and selling among these groups. As of now art has become affordable and one can buy art from new and emerging artists at a very low price. Art prints also are offered at less rates compared to original paintings and because of this entry of art prints in the art market even the common man is able to purchase and display art in their living rooms. Let us consider art for investment for the common man in this post.
Investment is of priority list in the minds of many. We always want our assets to multiply and the sooner they give financial benefits and returns the better. Art since ages have been known to give good financial returns and many art investors are on the watch to keep buying artworks from reputed art galleries or even online art galleries and auctions. How will this benefit the common man?
When we purchase shares and fixed deposits we all know that we get a certain interest on that and also other benefits in case the process of shares shoot up. There is always a risk factor in other investments like shares, Fixed deposits, paper gold and other assets. One can only judge the market but not be sure of the returns. The whole economy and financial stability depends on the country and their inflation rate. This field is fluctuating and investments need to be kept a close watch for high's and low's in profits.
Not so with art. Though I can tell that the returns are not immediate and people who want immediate returns must opt for the former means of investments. Art is a slow progressive investment but  a much better one if you do not want immediate returns. Think of it as a long term investment and always buy art only according to your budget. Consider the amount you need to invest and then go in for purchasing art within that budget, It is very often noted that there is a tendency to go off budget since buying art is an emotional decision and one may fall for a costlier artwork even when the budget is predecided during actual purchasing of paintings.
Many art dealers and investors purchase art from new and emerging artists at low prices and store them for a few years. When the same artists becomes a known figure in art circles the prices of their artworks shoot up and investors may have sales, auctions and exhibitions of their art collections and get very good returns.
Same holds true for the common man. Buy art from artists who are at the beginning of their career. They may offer paintings at  affordable rates as compared to established artists. Here you would get the opportunity to display art in your homes as well as consider this as a heirloom for future generations to come.
As other investments mature so also art rates will keep on increasing over the years.And as compared to other investments there is comparatively low risk factor, only for unexpected accidents , like fires and floods!
When considering art for investment one must think carefully about this and do correct home work before buying and paintings. Consulting art dealers, gallery owners, art brokers and different artists will allow you to get the true picture regarding art sales and purchase of paintings. Like other investments this is also a planned move, the only difference being that art gives us an aesthetic experience which would remain with us forever, a treat to our eyes and a food for our soul!
