How to build an art collection

Art collecting can be a very intimidating concept for a beginner. Some people even think that you need to be a millionaire to collect art, or that you at least have to have a degree in art history to know what is a good art investment and what isn't. To some extent, beginners who are not confident about their taste are also intimidated. Well, you shouldn't be. Absolutely anyone can become an art collector! The ebook "How to build an art collection"

===>http://www.buildanartcollection.com

gives you all the basics - from how to choose a painting or sculpture, down to where to find them. It even gives you an idea of how much you need to start buying. You would be surprised - you only need a few dollars!

Remember - collectors come from all walks if life. You can easily train yourself to appreciate and collect art by just going to museums and reading books like this. If you are emotionally ready to invest in an object that can give you aesthetic pleasure and joy, then you're ready to invest in art.Happy Collecting,

  • New Art Site

    “I recently came across a new art community website at www.artybuzz.com. Artybuzz is a website that is completely free to join, and allows artists of all kinds to exhibit work online and become part of a vibrant online art community with artists from all over the world covering all kinds of styles. Members can get feedback on their work, create and join online art groups, advertise exhibitions and more. The main thrust of the website, and one of the most appealing aspects of the site is that these artists that join will have the chance of selling their own works through the website. All artists have to do is upload an image of their work which they can then choose to sell as prints, canvases and more. Artists set their own price and Artybuzz handle everything else, when an order is placed they print, post and handle payment and then send artists their earnings. The company prides itself in its fast delivery times and also on the fact that they print on products that are not necessarily that widespread like mural wallpapers. This makes the site unique and stand out from similar websites. A platform like this one seems to be a true catalyst for collaboration, as you can meet up with people who might move in different spheres than the ones you move in. Anyone is welcome to join Artybuzz, to create a free profile people simply need to go to www.artybuzz.com/register.php.” Enjoy Nigel Thomas Art Enthusiast "A Home Without Art is a Home Without Heart"blogs http://collectart.wordpress.com/ http://buildanartcollection.blogspot.com http://www.artreview.com/profile/NigelThomas websitehttp://www.buildanartcollection.com BuildAnArtCollection - 2 years ago

Here is another point of view from Wendy HermannWith an art consultant helping you, you can often find art collecting not only simple, but easy and fun as well. If you love art but dont have confidence in your ability to choose and negotiate fine art pieces - you may want to acquire the services of an art consultant.What does an art consultant do? An art consultant can help you through the entire art selection process - from choosing a theme to negotiating the price,.having the artwork framed, and choosing where the art piece should be located. Shell let you be her guide and provide you with an art collection that is as expensive or inexpensive as your budget allows.There are basically two types of art consultants. The first type of art consultant is one who focus on homeowners or individual art buyers. The second type works with corporate clients.What can an art consultant help you with? First of all, she can help you to find paintings. A good art consultant will also be knowledgeable about current prices and can negotiate fair prices for you. She can be invaluable in documenting the value of your art pieces and giving you replacement value advice for your insurance needs. She can help determine the authenticity of the art and help you avoid getting stuck with imitations or frauds.She can also review your existing art pieces and either look for new pieces to complement them or advise you on the best ways to liquidate them if together you decide that they no longer fit with your art acquisition strategy.Not only will the art consultant assist you in finding the perfect artwork for your home. She will also, at your request, provide custom framing and professional installation.An art consultant can also teach you about the subtleties of art buying and selling and eventually give you the confidence to appraise artwork on your own.And finally, if and when you are ready to sell your art - a knowledgeable art consultant will advise you on its current worth and help you to get its fair market value in the marketplace.So what should you look for in an art consultant?The primary attribute you should look for is experience. But not just any experience. Experience in the type of art that you want to acquire. For example, if you have a keen interest in Inuit or Native American art, youll want to find an art consultant who is knowledgeable in that field. In this case, an expert in French Renaissance art will not serve you well.In addition to having experience with the type of art that attracts you, she should also have experience in that period of art. Knowledge of current Native American art does not automatically translate to having knowledge of 17th century Native American art.If you love art, and dont know much about it, using an art consultant can be a nice shortcut to acquiring lovely art pieces without having to attend art school and acquire a degree in art.Article Source: http://articlekarma.com

Investing in fine art is about the only investment that is still standing while the stock market is tanking. Read this article on investing in time of economic uncertainty: http://www.masterworksfineart.com/blog/

They are a reputable source for fine art, AND their prices are much less than at some galleries I have seen.
