Buying

Buying or investing in art can be a confusing experience.

Buyers' concerns are many and varied, particularly when buying expensive works. Frequent concerns include:-

  • Can you rely on what the vendor is telling you?
  • Is the work wholly by the artist it is said to be by?
  • Is it a good quality work? - or is it average? - is it poor? - is it a fake or copy?
  • Has it been restored? - has it been over-restored?
  • Is it really worth that?
