What should I consider when buying art?
Here are some basic points that are worth considering when buying art.
- Make sure you get as much information as possible. Arm yourself with the facts and gain an understanding of what you are looking at and who and how it has been made.
- If you have time visit as many different galleries as possible. It can be a wonderful day out looking at and learning about different art and artists.
- Contact your local council or newspapers to find out about up and coming exhibitions. Often you will find theatres, cinemas, cafes, hotels, restaurants, bars and libraries show art which is for sale.
- Many of the major art schools around the UK have degree shows. These often take place in May or June annually.
- Visit art fairs where you can see many different galleries in one place. This can be very helpfully in developing an overall understanding of the current trends developing in creative practice. For example, the amount of digitally based photographic practice.
- Read the art press. Look at art magazine for information about what is happening. Here is a list of some of the most interesting and informative. Frieze;Art Monthly; The Arts Newspaper; Contemporary Magazine;Art Review;Cabinet; Next Level; PLUK magazine; Equivalence; Aperture; Source magazine;Eight(8) Photojournalism; Camera Austria International;Blind Spot; Photo Works; Blind Spot; Ag - international journal of photographic art and practice.
- And of course, look on the Internet.
A commercial art gallery perhaps specialises in contemporary art and sculpture or framed prints of original art. We have reached a stage where collecting original contemporary art has become such an expensive activity that it has prevented the majority of people owning high quality Fine Art photography, the majority of Landscape Art, Modern Art and more traditional Fine Art painting, printmaking and sculpture. buynewart offer an alternative way of thinking about buying and collecting art.
buynewart believe in owning and enjoying art becoming more accessible experience for everybody.
We have chosen the Internet and international touring shows to provide an easy way to view and purchase high quality art. The touring shows will provide many people the opportunity to view fine art photography and limited edition prints in easily accessible public places and venues. in a relaxed environment where we can answer any questions you may have about collecting art.
We believe that the work on display reflects the current emergence and increased interest in contemporary photographic practice.
