WHY? Because it’s a safe,
sure investment and has been for many Centuries. This is not a new concept; it’s
only new to most Americans, who have not been advised properly.
I would like to thank you
for your phone call inquiries & emails in response to my last article, "MOOD
spelled backwards is DOOM!
So you realize you can
keep your cash under your mattress or on YOUR WALL! I will now answer the most
commonly asked questions:
1-Q: I do not know
anything about art or the market? Where do I start?
A: Call me for private
consult. 242-8811.
2- Q: I was always told
to buy what I like, and I don’t know if that’s a good investment?
A: When first starting
out with building a collection, buying right is important. The right artists, at
the right price! Remember, if it goes up in value, or has a built in profit, I
know you will grow to like it. If you don’t ,trade up or re sell it and buy what
you like with the profit.
Having a work of art
that increases in value and you love, is a utopian situation, but not impossible
when there is an abundance of Inventory.
NOW is a good time,
during these uncertain times, collectors are liquidating portions of their
collections or upgrading.
3- Q. what artists are
considered investment grade?
A: Old Masters, 20th
Century Masters & contemporary artists that have a very good track record of
sales.
4-Q: Whom do we
recommend?
A: The top ten artists
that I started my personal collection with were all male…They have dominated the
industry for years, however, it is changing and many woman are now being
recognized.
DALI- MIRO- PICASSO-
CHAGALL- WARHOL- NEIMAN- MAX-ANTHONY QUINN-WYETH-KEITH HARING are the top ten….
There are too many to
list! Please check out AWARD winning artists that have a great future, if you
are estate planning.

These well known
artists have been published in Lithographic & serigraphy mediums and are still
very affordable. Of course, you have to buy at WHOLESALE to get a built in
profit. However, these works are still appreciating in value.
Depending on your
budget, there are etchings, originals and many great sculptures to select from a
wide inventory.
5-Q: What about
Giclee’s?
A: This is a very
inexpensive medium to use to decorate your office. Since these are NOT limited
editions, they are usually worth what you pay for them? I would not pay much.
Again, prices will range depending on the artist name, but understand that most
of these are computer generated, often the artist hand does not touch the work
in traditional fine art style.
This is a great time
for newcomers, investors and collectors to take advantage of what this age-old
industry has to offer.
Support the Arts!
Have a creative week!
