Investment art/paintings

[Fishhead24]

Do any of you see any artists out there that are good investments?

Living in Florida, I've been dabbling in collecting vintage Highwaymen paintings from the 60's.

How about one who's due to pop his cloggs?

In that case, perhaps Leroy Neiman fits that bill.

Purchased a Higwaymen painting by James Gibson last week..........$500.

Will be selling it at the local auction house in a couple weeks............will probably take a loss on it.........but keeping fingers crossed.

Gotta love gambling. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

this thread is fantastic.

also art is not an investment vehicle.

Well, to many it can be and is.

Having said that, I certainly don't consider myself an investor of fine art..........more of a "gambler" as was previously stated.

Do have collectibles of all sorts however, and have profited from a wide variety of them over the years...........art, sports collectibles, antiques, etc., etc.

The main thing is to enjoy what one collects, uses, or accumulates............whether it goes up or down in price.

You gotta understand art a LOT for it to be profitable.
Buy well-established artists who are starting their careers, I've been told that the 5k-25k$ zone is where most of the value is. If you pick good you can sell a 10k painting for 150k in 20 years time or so, outperforming the stock market..

Good point r3vbr..........however I'm doing very well by knowing what the local market is paying and then going out and buying what these people want by purchasing paintings 25-50 cents on the dollar..........thus churning a 100% gain in a few weeks.
