My first real art buy was this piece by Ten Hundred that I picked up a few years ago in Seattle. Happy to say that it's still on my wall.

Stopped in a hotel where they had loads of art up from local artists and loved the Mr Jago's they had up. Not my favourite piece he's done but picked up an AP of Bring it down. On the hunt for a couple more when the budget allows!

LV Child by Beejoir caught my eye immediately. Without me knowing he contacted Beejoir, two weeks later a package from Thailand arrived and the obsession began. Still my favorite piece.

What was your first ever Art Purchase?, by Daniel Silk on Mar 5, 2021 5:01:28 GMT 1, Yes I still have it in my collection.
What was the very first piece of Art that you ever Bought? My my very first was this In 2003 I got it from Art Republic in Brighton, days before the rest of the edition was destroyed by the Royal Mail. I read that Art Republic sold maybe only 10 from the total edition of 450, so it was 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 150 each, and only 10 were sold. I was lucky enough to be there at the right time and got the 1st class and numbered 1/150, signed James Cauty. I was taking part in the London to Brighton Mini run, and I just managed to squeeze this in through the roll cage and into the back of the Mini to get it home I remember it well, it had about an inch to spare coz getting it in through the door was tricky with a full roll cage including door bars and angled bar across the back seat area. please post your first ever Art buy put photos and story if possible.

What was your first ever Art Purchase?, by bestdj777 on May 12, 2021 22:56:22 GMT 1, I used to watch Pawn Stars way too much and a few pieces caught my eyes. The first was by Steve Kaufman and I quickly searched for a canvas of his and added my first piece to my collection. A couple of years later, there was a Di Faced Tenner and I was hookedโI got a reproduction with a really cool piece painted over it by a British mosaic artist. A few years later and my walls and my portfolio are packed.

First purchase was in 1996 and was purchased from my old art teacher at School. Cost me $600.00 which at the time was over 3 weeks wages. I watched him paint it in his office at lunchtimes at school during my last year. It was inspired by his daughters serious injury during gymnastics as she was training for the commonwealth games. Its called fallen Angel and was quite different to anything he has painted before and since.

Before my move to the UK I collected and restored old cars (has a mini, beetle, VW type 3) but when i landed in London it's hard and pricey hobby to have so I moved to art
