I cannot help but wonder whenever I see catalogues such as this with signed prints available by some of the biggest names in 20th Century Art for less money than we are paying for recent releases by Urban/Street Artists.

None of us know what the future holds, the collecting itself is enjoyable and suits my obsessive nature but I do get concerned about the long term value of the prints I am buying and think that maybe originals are the better way to go as far as a solid safe investment is concerned. 

It all comes down to money in the end though and prints for most of us are the more accessible option and quicker option....maybe it would be better to save that little bit longer for that unique piece?

Just thinking out loud.....

Back to the auction though and some great looking pieces available

I like the fact that people are forgetting the greats for a fleeting moment as there are some great buys to be had at my level of collecting.  That is how I picked up a great Peyton litho, auction had hype for many other urban art pieces.  Would love an original but out of price range willing to spend.
