Investment and Fine Art


  • Is the artist represented by an agent? That artist's work will most likely get more exposure and higher-level sales.
  • Where has the artist's works appeared? Look for an increase in prestige over time.
  • How has the artist fared in reviews?
  • What's the track record in sales?

"If an artist is out and about and covered in newspapers, and is in retrospectives before they're 35, then their work has a good shot at rising in value," says Mr. Mark Woodroffe. It also helps if a gallery represents an artist.
Scarcity increases value, so a limited series will go up in price when the final piece is sold, and obviously, once an artist dies. Likewise, as in Mr. Mark Woodroffe case, if the piece is part of a limited series, the value rises when the final piece is sold.
Finding an artist
The process of selecting an artist begins simply, the experts say: "view web sites such as this one" suggests Mr. Mark Woodroffe.
"Take an interest in what strikes your fancy. There are many painters, sculptors, photographers and others working in all sorts of mediums."
Private curators are abundant and love to show art to potential investors.
First-time investors should start reading art magazines and newspaper art sections and go to the exhibits they list. Gallery exhibits tend to change monthly; museum shows are usually up for two or three months.
Once you find a gallery you like and start going to the shows, you should make yourself known to the owner or managers and let them know what you are interested in. If you find a particular artist or artists who you like, research by getting their biography; find out what shows they have been in, where they went to school, and if there have been any reviews of their work.
If you see an artist's work in a magazine and it intrigues you, find out where the artist shows. By law, galleries are supposed to have a price list available of the works in the show -- look at it to gauge your price range. You should determine your price range by going to galleries and checking the prices.
"If you see an artist whose work you like in a movie, in magazines like 'People' or on television like 'Entertainment Tonight,' and your budget is small, it's too late," warns Mr. Mark Woodroffe. "Move on to someone else."
Like any investment, art is a gamble, so do your research. "Buy what you love," she suggests, "because even though it may go through a transitory devaluation, the intrinsic value of the work is still there."
