Buy Modern Art
Buying modern art for your home or office should not be looked upon as merely for decorative purposes. Modern art does enhance the decor of your home or office, but it also should be looked upon as an investment as well. To find modern art that best suits your tastes, you must keep a few, simple guidelines in mind before making your purchase.
Instructions
1. Comprehend the major modern art movements. This will help you determine what type of modern art you like best and will guide you towards which pieces to purchase. The major movements are Impressionism, Fauvism, Expressionism, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Cubism, Surrealism, Abstract Art, Pop Art and Op Art.
2. Determine the movements you like best. Each modern art movement includes many well-known artists. For example, Impressionism includes Monet, Fauvism includes Matisse, Art Nouveau has Picasso and Surrealism includes Dali. Deciding which movement most interests you will help narrow down your choices of artwork to buy.
3. Choose well-known modern artists' work. Original pieces from artists such as Matisse or Dali will come up at auction, occasionally for millions of dollars. Many reproductions and prints available for purchase. Check a local art gallery or conduct a search on the Internet at a website such as Buy-Modern-Art.com.
4. Save some money by buying lesser-known modern artists' work. It is less expensive and easier to find than the masters, such as Monet or Picasso.
