How to Buy Art From a Gallery

A trip to your local art gallery will help you assess the quality of artists in your region. Curators and sales people will speak about the motivations behind each piece of art while you determine your level of interest. You need to conduct research and figure out your interest in art before you head to an art gallery.

Instructions

1

Rid yourself of the mindset that art is a great investment before you buy art from a gallery. Most art works depreciate in value due to the volatility of the art market, as well as poor storage by collectors. You should purchase art that shows your distinct style to visitors in your home.

2

Attend artist showcases at your local gallery to find a collection of art with a consistent theme. These events allow you to speak with the artist and view her finest works without the isolation of the daily gallery experience.

3

Determine your interest in realistic or abstract art before you head down to a gallery. This fundamental choice allows you to focus your shopping experience and inform a salesperson about your favorite type of art.

4

Question the sales and curating staff at an art gallery to determine their qualifications. You should shop at galleries staffed by professionals with education and experience in diverse areas of the art world.

5

Support local artists by purchasing original works at a gallery. Your love for the work of a certain local artist can help sustain your city's art community.

6

Obtain a condition report from the gallery as you decide whether or not to buy a piece of art. This report, which lays out previous ownership, materials used in creating the work and handling information, will help you make an informed decision.

7

Dig deeper into the originality and authenticity of art works at a gallery before you buy your first painting. Galleries may offer reproductions and limited-edition prints that seem like a good value until you look at similar products online.

8

Wander around galleries in your town to expose yourself to a wide range of artwork. You should bring a notebook to each gallery to note the ambiance, inventory and approach of sales staff.
