10 Tips on Building an Art Collection on a Budget

I noticed many video's on collecting art did not adress the everyday collector with an average income. I think collecting art should be for everyone, so I decided to start a series with tips. Look for more tips in the comments!

With regards to the second tip. What other things do we need to consider outside of “we like an artwork”?

Glad you asked, as I found this tip explained in a poor matter in the video. What I mean is that visual appeal can form a false judgement when your 'taste' has not yet developed properly. There are certain merits like: is it well painted? is it a good composition? is the subject original? does the subject has multiple layers of meaning? Things you will notice instinctively as you view more and more paintings. What I see a lot for example is that people are easily fooled by these neo-romantic Bob Ross-ish looking paintings. They are visually appealing to the untrained eye, like Einaudi's music is appealing to the untrained ear. You have to listen to a lot of Mozart or Schubert to understand that even though Einaudi is pleasant, it lacks depth. I hope this makes sense.

Thanks for the video. Just bought a painting from a contemporary artist and I can't wait to see it delivered 😃

Great video. I have been thinking about something similar. There is a lot of hype around about art being a great investment - drawing unknowing people in.
