So, you are interested in buying ‘modern art?’ Christies is celebrating. Mucho dolares for some new Picassos on the market fetching over $100 million. Crazy? Of course it is crazy. Investors think he is a safe haven for art investment. Maybe they are right…who really knows? We know that modern art is rising.
They say his work is still today fresh and relevant. Maybe it is. The critics should know, right? But if you want to buy good modern art there are so many other options out there. There are wonderful, exciting emerging artists producing also fresh, new, original work. These can be found in galleries and of course on line.
Don’t be disheartened by the high prices paid for masters such as Picasso and Miro. Really fantastic work can be purchased for as low as $5,000. These are originals by emerging, eager new artists from around the world. The beauty of the internet is that it makes available wonderful work from all around the globe. Everything can be shipped. Personally I am taking a brief hiatus from so called ‘modern work’ to pursue some interests in self portraiture and also with the use of glazes. The masters who painted before Picasso used glazes and varnish intermediate coats extensively. I have been experimenting with these old methods on some new work. I will probably be posting them sometime in May.
Art for everyone!
