So, now your starting to think about collecting art.
As you begin your art collecting adventure, remember this is an experience to enjoy. You are learning a new skill!
For many people selecting the art is the most difficult task. You will ask yourself these same questions many times... What do I really want? How do I know if this is the right art for me?
The answer to these questions is simple, buy with your heart, do you hear the painting speaking to you? Of course it won't really be calling out your name (or maybe it will). But you should feel something when you see it.
Art is emotional - Love, joy, anger, innocence, quiet, loud they're all there. All of these things are felt and seen when you find a piece of art that speaks to you, speaks to your heart and mind.
There is no hard fast rules for buying art, no right or wrong. Buy what you love. You can't make a mistake if you're purchasing a piece of art that makes you feel something.
What about the cost? Isn't art expensive? Good art doesn't have to be expensive and expensive art isn't always good.
When making a art purchase you will want to have a certificate of authenticity to make sure that what you see is really what you get. While it not always offered, it important that you ask for and receive some type of documentation on your art purchase.
Our policy at LionsHead gallery is to provide each buyer a Certificate of Authenticity for each piece of art that is purchased.
As you begin to collect art remember buy the best art that you can afford at the time.
If you find an emerging artist and begin a relationship chances are that you'll have a great beginning to a formative collection of your very own.
