The Need For traditional Art In Home And Office

Why original art? Why not a poster? There are many reasons. The space that you live in and work in is foremost to you and those who visit you. You can improve the look and feel of those spaces with real, original artworks.

Many population buy a copy of a poster - which nowadays may be called a "litho", or an "art litho", etc. Many population even believe they will save some money decorating their homes, condos, offices with posters. The population who buy these posters are buying a copy of a copy of a well-known popular work. The original work was ordinarily created years ago by a now well-known artist.

These posters are appreciated both for the image and as a sort of logo that represents a body of work, period, or school that the buyer sees as a personal favorite. While there is nothing wrong with this per se, it is truly not as much a personal statement as the buying of an original work.

Posters and giclee's (a textured copy of a poster on canvas) also offer less milieu and proximity than original works of art. truly some copies are good than others - but the copy always loses many of the properties of the original work.

Very few can afford a Van Gogh, Monet, or Renoir unless they buy a poster copy of those works. There is a unlikeness in the middle of listening to music on the radio or a Cd and being present during a performance by living musicians. This unlikeness is the same for optic art. After you have seen some Van Goghs and Monets you know it's dissimilar than finding at copies. An original artwork appears to have more intensity, it has textural properties and it has a corporeal proximity among other things that a poster cannot attain.

Frame shops can put a poster into a decorator moulding, add a matte, etc. - which is becoming very expensive - to display the poster. It is now a well-displayed poster, for which you have spent -500 to display.

There are many so-called "limited edition fine art prints - signed by the artist and numbered" that are sold under the pretense that they will probably appreciate in value. You have only to check eBay and stable sales to see that at least 99.9% of these are next to worthless. These "fine art prints" are originally priced anywhere from -1000. These are perhaps the worst speculation ever sold.

Buying orignal artworks need not be expensive. The artists of today are turning out a vast array of gorgeous pieces in every medium. These works of art do not have to be purchased through the top priced galleries either.

Many artists rehearse themselves or sell through reasonably priced galleries. There are also art auctions, charity art exhibits, art festivals, and many local artist groups that have creative, journeyman artists offering phenomenal values.

The prices of original artworks can be very negotiable. This depends of the artist, dealer or broker to whom you are talking. Many of my friends make it a point to buy directly from artists that they can talk with, perhaps befriend. Others get direction from publications or a singular art dealer that they trust.

Display of original works costs about the same as for posters, perhaps less is the frame is part of the purchase or the canvas is gallery wrapped so that there is no need for a frame.

Countless artists that I have spoken to have original works ready that they will sell for -1000. Most population I speak with are able to find excellent values for an midpoint of 0 per piece. And, there is a real possibility that these originals will appreciate in value. But I am writing about this in a dissimilar article.

So, you can do the math, is a poster in a frame (with miniature opening of appreciation) a good value than an original. Be a real art buyer! Shop for beautiful, well-executed, original works by serious, living artists with whom you can negotiate good prices.
