Tips FAQ

Anyone with 3 or more original works of art of an individual artist, is a collector.

As an example there are many parents with child art collections which they treasure. They are collectors. The idea that collectors are only billionaires who store investment properties in a Singapore or Panama free-ports is a misconception. Most collectors buy from the heart and enjoy the benefits of having original art. Some collectors like parents have a special relationship with the artist where cash is not the basis of ownership. The terms of acquisition have nothing to do with the legitimacy of a collectors art. If you receive a gift from an artist or pay full retail price or make a purchase agreement for shareholder ownership, it is all building an art collection.

In 2017 River made a special issue collectors series.

Be a collector. Buy something you like from an artist you like. Small and inexpensive art is good. Jean-Michel Basquiat was running around Manhattan selling postcard size drawing and paintings for $10 to $50. The N.Y. Times reported in 2007 their worth was $12,000 apiece. Buy some postcard art and be a smart collector. Have fun.

So what is the best way to finding value in art? Pleasing yourself is not a bad place to start. If you are a seasoned collector, you already have worked most of it out. I hope to offer many creative investment packages for my collecting partners.
