Art as an investment

[artmonster]

Also, just out of interest: when you did that, did it add to your number of posts anyhow? Even though you deleted it?

I am willing to turn corrupt in order to get that second star...

So as a long time collector and dealer I’m always searching for the latest and greatest.

It would be great to see people opinion on what artist to invest into for financial gain.

Banksy, Retna, Mr Brainwash, Invader and Stik have all seen the prices going through the roof.

WHOS NEXT!!!

A 'long time collector and dealer'is the sort of person I'd be looking to ask for advice rather than giving it, so what artists do you think are worth investing in?

[dotdot]

MG - tell us more about your knowledge - given you have an interest in watches, cars and fine art , no ?

I'm sure more than a few here would like to hear your views... a link to your site along with commission fees etc , would also be of interest to a few - mind you a mod might like to change your status also - to a non commoner.

There's an artist who has started to make waves in the art scene, goes by the name of araplatoon I believe.
Anyway he (Or she) is taking preorder commissions for a very limited time before their first solo show at (insert gallery name)
You just need to make an initial non-refundable deposit of £100,000 to get on to the waiting list, then if you are one of the lucky ones I think the final payment is another £100,000.
If that is outside of your budget I have heard a rumour of a one colour exclusive print drop, details are sketchy but there will be more tiers than a royal wedding cake so be as quick as you can.

Happy to put you in contact if you're interested but please keep this to yourself

I see you have been contacted by members of the UAA Gestapo...

Wowowowowoow,
Didn’t mean to offend anyone, sorry if I did, I just want to learn, haven’t got much knowledge with Urban art but I love it.
Iv just had a few really hateful PMs because I said I was a dealer. Arnt we all dealers in a way??

Anyhow it’s great to see people’s opinions about the market, I think it’s exciting to be in.

Let me know if anyone has Harlands or RETNAs for sale.

Cheers

Shame a newcomer is greeted that way. Poor guy was only asking to be guided on his art investment quest. You can PM me anytime if you have doubts about a specific purchase and I'll answer to the best of my abilities . I can handle the gestapo, so let them direct their hate on me instead.

If I give you next Lottery's numbers, how much you paid ?

Bargain!

All of the old school collectors hate the word investment. When they bought their banksys for 20p and sold them for £20000 it was out of love.

They would also never hype an artist to create a buzz. Buzz = profit and that’s just wrong!

People with brains buy art they like and want on their walls but also stands a chance of increasing in value.

This is not a crime 😊

Harland and Retna. Two up and coming artists 😂

To be fair I’ve bought and sold art but do not for one second consider myself a dealer. I get bored of stuff, want a change or see something I like more.

Some people may wish to spend some time familiarising themselves with a website before using their first post to start a thread, claiming to be an art dealer and asking for investment tips on an art forum.

I'd dump works by Retna now given his behaviour. He could do something to end his career at any moment.

i mean, you came on an art lover's blog asking about "the next big thing" and more or less explicitly said you want the information so you can (1) buy the art we want to collect and (2) sell it back to us for much higher than retail.

i feel like people are being surprisingly nice in this thread, honestly

If I had the cash I'd pick up one of Paul Insects original pieces. Seems like you can pick up a large OG of his more recent work for under $20k. Regardless, I still think Insect is a good buy and more importantly (for me at least) something I'd love to see on my wall day in and day out. His newest release sold out in minutes, which is impressive given the price of the prints. Anyway, my 2 cents.

Most post talk about should I sell now or wait , this is just after banksy print releases at pow when £100 and talking of profit of £500, there were lots of hype around banksy in the beginning even pow staff shilling back door prints on eBay along with genuine prints .
There's loads of interesting reads from the past still logged here .

Wonder if anyone's had any experience in using investment platforms such as Masterworks.io? I've got £5-10k that I would like to invest in some art and wondering whether these types of companies are worth a look or whether it's best to buy a couple of pieces from known artists that I enjoy and go it alone? All a risk of course but these investment platforms seem to have some industry knowledge behind them and realistically I'm not sure what I could get with that figure that might be a worthwhile investment (except of course being a nice edition to a wall).

Would be interested to know members thoughts.

This is the correct answer!

I wouldn’t ask for medical advice on an art forum. Asking for financial advice on an art forum would give me no more confidence.
