What are the benefits of buying original art? Generally, most reasons fall into one of the categories of Style, Originality, Texture/Depth, History, Emotional, Investment and Fun.
History - What is the provenience or the history of the piece? Was it hanging in a mansion of a prominent family for the last hundred years? Was it a gift to the artist's spouse before they passed away? These can add to the value of the piece. But, what about making your own history? You don't have to go to a major auction house to build a collection. Emerging artists can be a very affordable option that can have unlimited growth potential? To do this, look for artist who is creating artwork as their profession, not as a hobby. The reason is you want someone who is building a portfolio of work and a market for their pieces. As the artist career advances from Etsy, to cafe shows, small gallery exhibit, high-end galleries, and museum, the value of your pieces advance too. If you're fascinated by venture capitalist, this may be for you. While many of the artists may fail to be recognized, finding that one piece or artist could be life changing.
