For myself, I often use images from the cultures of Japan, Korea, and especially India in my monoprints with Chine colle. I've been very successful with them.

Recently I did a series employing images from the golden age of Greece, and with that country'sPradarshakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425663860374214052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325859217581007533.post-27440548816057493702011-11-11T11:53:55.997+05:302011-11-11T11:53:55.997+05:30It is rather easy to prove today that wisely buyin...It is rather easy to prove today that wisely buying high end quality Asian ancient art is not only far better than wasting money in banks, but also it gives a satisfaction level that no bank to that day will ever be able to match.

I always tell my clients to buy what you love or stimulates you, but think about the disposition of the work of art or your entire collection - for you or for your estate. Buying works by artists that will eventually come to auction is a good investment overall.

The "art market" is specialized with the super top end concentrating on selling to the super rich and creating an "art history" that eludes to it being a good investment.

Investment in art is very much like real estate: Not a quick one, with the difference that it is more liquid. The difference from the stock market is, that there is no crier to tell you everyday the actual price of your investment. You also have to like it yourself.

People buy my limited Edition prints from my oil paintings. Lots of folks have read articles on the internet that tell them buying a limited Edition print is a good investment....yes well...

I have only traded pieces from my collection, but have not sold anything. Eventually, because of age, I will have to deaccess my collection and that requires me to understand it's value. Auction results and current gallery prices help to identify trends, Pradarshakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425663860374214052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325859217581007533.post-1304411247870867292011-11-08T12:02:22.628+05:302011-11-08T12:02:22.628+05:30Modern Paintings HEADS Series: www.blurb.com/books...Modern Paintings HEADS Series: www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/2153386 <br />Posted by Leon Nicholas on linkedin Group: Visual Artists and their Advocates.Pradarshakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425663860374214052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325859217581007533.post-67054705857475133372011-11-08T12:00:57.466+05:302011-11-08T12:00:57.466+05:30Recession and then Boom.

In a recession artists have to be competitive and price their art works accordingly to suit the demand until the markets return to stability. The person who buys in a recession at the low price gains when the recession is over and prices go up. Buying art in a recession makes sense. <br />Posted by Pradarshakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425663860374214052noreply@blogger.com
