Аз имам две картини на Юрий Гранитски

кога ще струват 30 000?
Помислих си че въпроса ти може и да не е само риторичен, затова пускам една статия с някои основни правила при купуването на картини с цел инвестиция.
Те не са гаранция за успешна инвестиция и не отменят необходимостта от съвет с оценител:
How to Collect and Buy Art: The Basics
Note: This article is taken from a speech originally given to an audience of art collectors at the Indianapolis Art Center. It covers a number of topics that are treated at length and in detail in my book, THE ART OF BUYING ART.
Suppose you see a work of art for sale that you like-- a painting, a sculpture, a print-- it makes no difference. If you like it so much that you think you might want to own it, begin your decision-making process by asking and answering four basic questions.
(1) Who is the artist?
(2) How important is the art?
(3) What is its provenance, history, and documentation (or more simply, where has the art been and who's owned it)?
(4) Is the asking price fair?
* The artist's birth date and death date (when applicable).
* Where the artist lives and works.
* Where, when and with whom the artist studied.
* Organizations the artist belongs to.
* Galleries, museums, or institutions where the artist has exhibited art either in one-person shows or in group shows with other artists.
* Awards, prizes, grants, and honors that the artist has received.
* Public, private, or corporate collectors who own the artist's art.
* Positions the artist has held (teacher, lecturer, writer, and so on)
* Publications that mention the artist such as books, catalogues, newspapers, magazines, and so on.
