Today's art market is incredibly dynamic-there are so many interesting works, shows and exhibitions to choose from, and new galleries are opening all the time. Because there is so much to discover and see, many people are becoming interested in art collecting. But because it is impossible to keep track of all the developments, becoming an art collector is not easy.
A Poor Collector's Guide to Buying Great Art provides relief and offers sound advice to those who want to buy art but do not know how or where to do so.
Perhaps they have preferences in terms of styles or techniques but are unfamiliar with how the buying process works.
Perhaps they already have specific pieces in mind but do not yet trust the rules of the art market, assuming those rules really exist.
What do you need to know to prevent your personal tastes from leading you to make poor investment decisions?
On his way to becoming a passionate art collector himself, Norwegian adventurer Erling Kagge had to learn these rules and answer this very question. His years as a mountaineer and visitor to both poles undoubtedly helped him explore and evaluate the extremes of the art market.
Fortunately for us, his experience also gave him the desire and skills to impart this knowledge to others in A Poor Collector'sGuide to Buying Great Art.
This book illuminates all the aspects of becoming an expert in buying art that you will enjoy for many years, such as how to get started, how to take your tastes seriously, how to do a focused search for pieces, how to learn how to evaluate prices, and how to find reliable partners. Kagge's practical and entertaining step-by-step guide also includes ways to identify and avoid pitfalls and deceptive temptations. As an extreme athlete, he knows how to follow the rules but trust his instincts when needed. This know-how has benefited Kagge in the art market and will now also be useful to all readers of A Poor Collector's Guide to BuyingGreat Art.
