After watching the housing market plummet and the U.S. dollar go down in value, one wonders what (or if) they should invest in anything.\u00a0 Well, one thought is the art market.\u00a0 Hmm.\u00a0 Yes, what a concept.\u00a0 Here is something that, provided you don’t just stick it in your shed somewhere, will actually go up in value.\u00a0 That is a fact.\u00a0 “Good” artwork will always go up in value.\u00a0 Now, I am not talking about “decorative” art that has no function or meaning to it other than serving as a home improvement object.\u00a0 I am talking about investment pieces.\u00a0 And certainly NOT prints.\u00a0 For some reason, people think mass-produced ink-jet printouts of work are worth something, when they are not original works of art.\u00a0 You cannot retire on those.\u00a0 However, you can retire on art.\u00a0 In fact, many people invest in a piece for a mere 1 or 2 thousand dollars, (yes, that is relatively inexpensive for something you can live off of!!) and get 10 times as much at auction.\u00a0 If you are smart, and do your research, you can not only enjoy a piece of art in your home but you can put little Jimmy through college with that piece if you so choose.\u00a0 Here’s an investment that you can actually enjoy, you can see it, and it’s not locked away in some bank.\u00a0 And it won’t lose value.\u00a0 Real estate can’t do that.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
