I'd love to learn more about collecting art, both for fun and as an investment. I was just wondering if anyone on TPF collected art. I'd eventually love to get a Ross Bleckner painting and a Marylin Minter photo/painting!
Timing the market for investment is tough to do. Collect what you love & you'll never go wrong.
I collect art by lesser known dutch artists, I only buy art that I totally fall in love with... I have some great pieces hanging up in my appartment.
A few years ago, my bro and I bought a painting costing about US$70 equivalent - that's the only painting I've ever bought If I had money, I'd buy art that I like.
