{Tuesday Tips} Gathering Information on Art Collecting

Great sources of information when you start collecting art:

• Read art history books and books about collecting art.
• Subscribe to art magazines.
• Talk to other art collectors and glean their experience.
• Visit as many art galleries as you can.  Gallery staff are extremely helpful.
• Sign up for art gallery email lists and keep up-to-date on openings and events.
• Visit and join local art museum or other nonprofit art centers.  They sometimes have lectures about collecting art.
• Once you are educated about collecting art, when you fall in love with a piece of art buy it.
• Purchase art because it moves you.
