Purchasing fine art can be an intimidating project. The space between poster art and fine originals masters like Van Gogh is overwhelming. How are we to know what is a good investment? How can we decipher the value of something that isn't traded in world famous auction houses like Christie's and Sotheby's? The truth is there is no absolute truth! Thus, buy things that you love. Always make personal enjoyment the first priority.
That having been said, there are certin things one can look for when considering investment value in an art purchase.
First, think about the history of the artist. For instance Jason Monet, he is 69 years old and has ben painting for over 60 of them. He was educated formally in London, England. People all over the world have collected his pieces and it is still affordable to the average collector.
Another possible consideration in artist history is his lineage. Sudargono is a bold Indonesian abstract painter who is the youngest and most internationaly renowned of Sudarso's 5 painting sons. Sudarso, who passed away last year is one of the fathers of modern art in Indonesia. He is the Indonesian Master of Realism, and is considered a national hero.
For Collectors, Sudarso has become virtually un-obtainable, they are museum pieces. Gono, on the otherhand, is still affordable and just as vital to the young painters he fathers creatively, as his father was to his gereration.
The last point I will cover now is creativity and originality. Jesse Miller is incomparable to other artists. He combines multiple mediums in oversized canvas meshed with wood carvings and leaded glass. When some one can be completely unique and remain tastful they are in a class above the majority of artists.
All three of these painters fit into the above three points in one way or another. Learn more about all three and other artists at our official webite JL Galleries |
