Why Invest In Original Art? A great way to add your personality to a room is by decorating the walls with artwork. Big box stores offer a lot of cheap options with prints, posters, and other mass produced options. But, they lose their value immediately and rarely earn more than a few bucks years later in a garage sale. So, if you're trying to freshen up a tired space, redecorating, or a new home-owner, you may want to consider investing in original artwork.

Quality - A painter will take a canvas, paint it with primer, and then design a subject using various colors, materials, and imagination. Usually, this creates a texture and a vividness. It is hand crafted by the artist. A reproduction is a photographic copy that has difficulty capturing and holding that quality depending on the resolution, printing, and quality of paper.
Anyone using a copy machine knows the quality of the image declines the further away from the original the print comes from.
Scarcity - There's only one original. And the more well-known and talented the artist is, the most valuable the piece will become. This severely limited supply of one compared to the potentially unlimited demand of art consumers can increase prices very rapidly. Mass produced posters remain cheap because if they sellout, they can always just print more.
Production - To create a piece, an artist may spend anywhere between a few minutes to several years. It can vary depending on size, subject, materials, complexity, etc. Genius and inspiration are impossible to schedule and mass produce. All of these factors come together to determine the artist earnings for a piece. With reproductions, all the creative process costs are eliminated. A machine can mindlessly make copy after copy without end.
