Pointers For Finding Figurative And Gnre Art To Purchase

By Rosella Campbell


For even budding art collectors, a wide range of tools and resources are available to make shopping fun and easy. In fact, there are many new routes for sourcing figurative and genre art which were not even available two decades ago. The following guide includes tips on the various options for potential buyers, from the traditional to the unexpected.

Of course, one of the more common places to find art is through a dedicated gallery. There are examples to be found around the world. Locating one near you is as easy as searching online with a few clicks. Once you have found some potential galleries in your region, make sure to visit their websites. This will help you to see if they sell the type of work you are looking for.

Keep in mind that often the best way to view art is in person. This allows you to get a true grasp of scale, texture, and colors, which can be distorted in the process of photographing and posting online. If you have the opportunity, it is worth your time to view the art in person. Some buyers who have done this have found that they like the work even better in person or even change their minds and decide to buy another piece.

There are also galleries in some unexpected places, including book stores, coffee shops and even bowling alleys. In addition, there are artists who sell their work through galleries based at their studios. This offers an option for supporting local makers in your area.

Do not forget the art fair, a fun and effective way to shop for art. You can find this type of event taking place throughout the year in many towns and cities. One way to get information on local art fairs is to visit an arts or community center in neighbourhood. It is likely to have information on upcoming community events.

The Internet has opened up many new opportunities for artists to sell their work. Websites which offer paintings to buy are increasingly advanced. Some allow you to get a sense of the work's size by including a diagram of the work in an interior space. Other features include the ability to zoom in on the work, to see detail.

Some websites allow you to search via a genre, such as figurative or still life. You can even shop by typing in a favourite color. This is a great way to coordinate according to an existing design scheme in your home.

For more practical tips on how to go about looking for artworks in your favourite genre, there are many resources to help which cost very little. For instance, there are several well known websites and blogs which are designed to provide information to art collectors. They include regular profiles of artists who are up and coming. As well, magazines which focus on the home and decorating often include articles with pointers for art investing. Even if you are not sure what you like, do not be concerned. When it comes to collecting, often the adage applies, you will know it when you see it. Last of all, although it is sometimes forgotten, having a passion for the work you are collecting is important. After all, you will likely be living with it for years to come. Choosing a painting you love is a good way to ensure that you will enjoy it now and in the future.
