Yes, the
title of my book ‘HANG YOUR Money on the Wall” is being written because of the
real traditional benefits in the global world of collecting! I can’t publish
the book until I have an ending…. but I can surely share my knowledge, beliefs
and experience, at this time, with those collectors, who are interested in the
financial benefits of collecting.
I entered
the world of FINE art in New York in the early eighties, after Picasso &
Rockwell passed away…
As a
performing artist, I never aspired to being an art advisor or consultant, but I
did follow the path. Within 5 years I brought in nearly 10 billion dollars to
the art market with a marketing plan that induced the print explosion in the
USA. I personally, retired in 1990 with an excess of 5 million dollar portfolio,
which I considered my IRA! Just couldn’t retire…too much energy & too much too
do. That’s why I started the ARTV AWARDS and educational films, to reach more
people as an educator, activist. That’s also how ARTV remains totally
independent. We fund these projects with our ART Assets! Every time I need to
buy a house, a car, go on vacation or do a project, we take the art off the wall
and sell it! Hard assets?
It’s like
having your own bank! However, it really depends on what you have in your
collection…NOT all art has to appreciate in value and sometimes does NOT!
However, it’s always worth what u paid for it….
The last 3
months of the year I advise collectors on the real benefits of art! I am NOT
talking aesthetics here, I am talking value, and what’s constitutes value…as a
consultant in the fine arts, NEVADA is the BEST place in AMERICA, to take
advantage of those benefits….
Thanks to
new disciples of the arts like STEVE WYNN. He helped to change the ART LAWS
here in our state, for people who wish to make donations, or corporations that
need tax write offs…. These people fund charities, by donating certain artworks,
do not just do it for nothing, it’s a 2-way street! They are very well educated
in what is allowed legally, the alternative minimum tax laws that are not really
advertised.
Traditionally, certain artworks always HOLD their value, even in the toughest
economical times.
If you
have kept up lately, with the decline of the US dollar, the housing market, the
sub prime banking system, all that doom is in the news…On the UP side, .Do you
know what the real collectors/investors are doing???
Why is ALL
the money going into the ART MARKET AGAIN? BREAKING AUCTION RECORDS AGAIN!!!!!
When everything else is in turmoil.
It’s a
tough time right now, where does one put their money for safekeeping? ON YOUR
WALL!
Start your
own bank, retirement fund, buy right and for G-Ds’ sake have a real art
consultant!!!!!
When your
sick, go to a doctor, when in trouble call 911, or see an attorney, when you
want to invest and diversify your holdings, play it safe, see an art advisor….
This is old as the hill, why do people just buy what they like? Without
consultation? Because they are novices… Buy smart, real art advisors can get art
that u will like, that also appreciates in value, and most likely at half the
price…Its NOT about RETAIL! That’s the KEY----track record, value equals Money.
YEAR-end acquisitions are sometimes best…
If u have
questions regarding Appraisals, acquit ions, trusts, art laws, charitable
donation and tax benefits, pertaining to fine art only! I can be reached at
