If you had £2k..., by jayTown on Mar 5, 2014 16:31:11 GMT 1, If you had £2k give or take to invest in a piece of art what would it be? Thinking about this at the moment so would quite like some inspiration. Main things are a) like the piece b) think it's a good investment.
Thoughts at the moment are...Banksy unsigned Weston Super Mare or Dolk Girl with Teddy bear.

If you had £2k..., by sakyamuni on Mar 5, 2014 16:44:32 GMT 1, I am not too sure that spending 2K on a dolk print is a great investment, although I might be wrong as I am not following him for years now... My advise would be an original by a less famous artist you like: if he/she becomes a star, you'll make a fortune out of it someday, and if it doesn't happen, as you like it a lot, it's not a bad move anyway...  You can get a lot of great art for 2K, including many artists often mentioned here...

If you had £2k..., by Poster Bob on Mar 5, 2014 17:10:06 GMT 1, I wouldn't spend 2k on a dolk print. I can't see the best of his prints ever fetching much more than that. Banksywise, with 2k I would try to buy two silver flags and sit on them for 6 months to a year. Although we all know that in 6 months people on this forum will not offer more than what the print was worth in Aug of 2013.

Maybe wouldn't be good for investment of course.

Or possibly consider an original from someone like Martin Whatson!

If you had £2k..., by LAZAKY on Mar 5, 2014 17:44:45 GMT 1, If it's just about investment you should try to buy original piece from another artist! Like artfan said a Watson could be pretty good or a massive Rae, depending of your taste!
If I'm right you could buy a big and nice pro176 for that price and it definitely worth it! You could count on this guy if you want to make money in the near years!

Long term or short term investment? Banksy is safer money but prints spiked so maybe not much movement left for a while, who knows.

You could double your money in 12months easy.
Joke.

If you had £2k..., by Hairbland on Mar 5, 2014 19:12:58 GMT 1, Key word in opening post is "invest" as opposed to buying something you have desired over the years. Much of my KAWS stuff has risen dramatically, an average of 50% to 300% over the last 3 years so wise investments at the time (and I dig 'em). I have other artists that have risen in a similar fashion.
Kevin Cyr would be a good example, you could buy his stuff for $200 or less 5 years ago, he now has a Jonathan Levine show with $15,000 paintings.
I'd probably do a sh*tload of research, and buy 4 artists at $500 each if I was investing.
If based on personal I'd buy a RAE painting as I like his work and there seems to be a vision, it could go up but I like it so if it didn't I'd be ok with that. But it would seem that with his gallery in Brooklyn and the Bodega project he must be hitting the radar.
