An abstract art gallery or museum usually hosts art exhibitions and is also used as a location for the sale of art.

Starting An Art Collection |
|
Identify what kind of art you like. The following techniques can help you determine what that is: 1. Visit 3 to 6 museums displaying different types of art. Finish your visit by purchasing postcards in the gift shop that reflect artworks that are attractive to you. Toss these cards in a bowl, and don't look at them again until you have visited all the museums on your list. Once you have done so, review all the cards and look for similarities among them in terms of mediums chosen, time period of the artists, or the style of the artworks. 2. Visit your local library and find an art history book that spans at least four centuries of art from many different countries. Use... |

The Best Art Schools |
|
To get into the top schools in the United States like Harvard or Stanford, applicants need much more than intelligence. This is because there are thousands of applicants to these schools who are all smart and intelligent. These schools also base their decision to admit a student based on other criteria as well, including the grasp of the applicant's other skills not related to academics. With the country's top art schools like the Art Institute in Chicago and the UCLA School of Art and Architecture, the same principle applies because the people in admissions for these schools do not solely base their decision to accept a student into their school on artistic talent alone. This is because,... |

Starting An Art Collection
Author: Corinne Cain
Identify what kind of art you like. The following techniques can help you determine what that is:
1. Visit 3 to 6 museums displaying different types of art. Finish your visit by purchasing postcards in the gift shop that reflect artworks that are attractive to you. Toss these cards in a bowl, and don't look at them again until you have visited all the museums on your list. Once you have done so, review all the cards and look for similarities among them in terms of mediums chosen, time period of the artists, or the style of the artworks.
2. Visit your local library and find an art history book that spans at least four centuries of art from many different countries. Use sticky notes to mark your favorite pieces. Again, look for common elements to determine what you like the best.
* Match what you like with what you can afford and what is currently available to buy. Consult with knowledgeable art dealers or art appraisers about costs and availability of what you have selected. Determine your annual budget and the number of pieces you want to be able to purchase with that amount.
* Gather information about the quality of what you like, what you can afford, and what is currently available. Consult with museum personnel and knowledgeable art consultants about what they consider to be quality work.
* Join ancillary museum groups that offer lectures and exposure to valuable information.
* Subscribe to magazines that focus on the type of art you want to collect.
* Don't rush to acquire art. For many, it's a lifelong pursuit.
Starting a Contemporary Art Collection
Contact museum curators or art professionals in your area who do not sell.
1. Build a relationship with these professionals by attending lectures where they assemble. 2. Discuss your interest in collecting contemporary art and ask for their recommendations. 3. Listen for names being repeatedly identified as quality artists.
* Attend exhibitions at contemporary art galleries in your area. Ask for information about any work that interests you. This will help you understand what the artist intended for his or her work "to say."
* Go to national and international art fairs to gain additional exposure to contemporary art. Ask for information on work that interests you at these events as well.
* Contact prominent local contemporary artists working in a medium you like and ask them to identify their "hot picks."
* Supplement your efforts by reading art publications such as Art in America, Art Forum, and Art News, as well as magazines directed toward just one kind of medium, for example, Fiberarts or types of art for example, Latinarte, Native Peoples and American Indian Art magazines.
* Join ancillary museum groups focused on contemporary art. These events allow you to experience what experienced collectors of contemporary art have chosen. Travel to other cities with these groups to gain an even greater understanding of contemporary art.
* Do MOST of the steps described above before purchasing for your collection.

How To Select An Art Piece In An Art Auction |
|
Nowadays, there are many art auction houses available online such as sotheby and ebay. However, before attempting to bid for a fine art auction, there are some points you need to take note especially if you are a beginner to art auctions. If you are new to fine art auctions, you might first decide what it is you like to collect. Is it abstract art, oil-based painting, impression art etc? You also might want to read up on the art category that you prefer to buy. Take for example, you are into abstract art. It would help you in your art auctions if you knew more about abstract art history, the various abstract art movements. The best way to start would be on the internet. One such site is www.artsconnected.org. They provide comprehensive search tools for visitors to research on their favorite art category. The other way is to browse the various art magazines, books, periodicals. You could go to your local bookstore, amazon or even the local library. Visit a few fine art auction houses and get a feel for the type of art you are interested in. Art Auction houses will usually provide detailed information on the art piece being auctioned. How Do I Know The Art Piece I Like Is Real? Ok, so you finally found an art piece you like. The next question you are probably asking is how do I know it is authentic? Since the value of an art piece is subjective depending on the person looking at it, it would be best if you can afford it to get a professional art appraiser to value the art piece. For large fine art auction houses such as sotheby, you can be assured that the art piece is already appraised and is authentic. However, if you are looking for an art piece at smaller auction houses or online art auctions such as ebay, you do need to be extra careful. Particularly so for... |
