The Basics of Buying Art

The Basics of Buying Art

Editorial Reviews
Manhattan Arts International, Spring 1996
This book offers beginners the simple and honest A, B, C's of developing a collection of contemporary art. With integrity and insight, it answers many questions about the often mysterious world of art as well as the business of art. In simple to read language, it arms readers with the right knowledge to avoid the pitfalls, while maintaining an enthusiasm that viewing and acquiring art have to offer.

Art Times, March 1996
We are certainly down to basics here - no aesthetic discussions on what makes art but good solid procedures on how to approach it as a commodity: choosing, preserving and re-selling is covered along with where to go, hot to look, how to build a collection - even how to talk like a pro. Includes short sketches on approximately 50 contemporary artists - a mini-course in art history.
