3 Tips on Investing in Emerging Art
Although we understand that art can be an excellent investment vehicle, an intelligent purchase must be motivated beyond a trend, it must be guided by emotion and admiration for the piece to be acquired. This blog will give you three tips to make a smart purchase and also support new talent.
Recognizing and supporting talent has become vital to growing today’s art market. At See|Me Gallery, our mission is to connect and promote culture through the arts and design by democratization, but with so many different platforms and offerings and on the market, how can you make a smart purchase?
First, trust yourself - buy something that you like. As consumers, we often put aside our personal tastes to follow a trend. Buying works that appeal to our interests or whose technical qualities we admire is an excellent strategy for acquiring exceptional works of art that will stand the test of time.
Second, spend time out and about honing your taste and in the process, discover new talents. The work of emerging artists brings new perspectives and engenders dialog about relevant, contemporary topics. It thus records a moment in time and contributes to modern society - and which is why supporting new talent is a bet on culture (and, incidentally, on the pocket). And, unlike other goods, art doesn’t lose value over time - it can only go up.
Third, look at the acquisition of work as something more than a material good. Art complements our spaces by filling them with life and color. When we connect with a piece emotionally, we acquire much more than an object. The work acquires a personal narrative, which opens a space for dialogue and debate in any meeting or social space.
