The Official $1,000/ 500 GBP Thread, by dkla on Apr 25, 2008 21:25:48 GMT 1, A friend is looking to make an investment in contemporary artwork to enjoy on his walls. His budget is $1,000 per artwork. He prefers more abstract images. He knows I'm a collector and asked for some advice.
My initial thought was this work by David Ellis:
www.papermonster.net/item.php?item=2
I'm wondering if others have any recommendations? If so, please post to this thread. We'll consider this "The Official $1,000/ 500 GBP Thread".

Nice print but a million miles from abstract, Prints or originals? Prints are easier in terms of investment (you cn afford an established artist this way), get him to check on galleries in St Ives and ask them who is coming up.
I go to Devon a lot and these guys have some really good abstract prints
www.brookgallery.co.uk
these guys have some good abstract too
www.lemonstreetgallery.co.uk/artists.htm
And there is always eyestorm

The Official $1,000/ 500 GBP Thread, by Heavyconsumer on Apr 26, 2008 2:50:28 GMT 1, My personal opinion would be that for $1000 a pop the option to get commissions from up and coming artists is available, although I wouldn't expect a large oil painting for that money of course! Certainly many of the forum artists are worth a contact, I would guess people like Copyright, Jef Aerosol, SPQR, Rourke, Neverwork, Replete etc etc etc, would in some cases be prepared to offer their services with a piece of some shape or size for ยฃ500 or less. One of my current favourites is a dude called Nathan Spoor, who'd probably do a small piece to order for $1000, perhaps even a little less, depending on the piece. Could certainly do worse than contact those guys here on the forum, but it all depends on what your mate likes to see when he's looking round his front room.
I don't think there are too many guaranteed investments that are readily available for the money you're talking though. The only guaranteeds would be established artists in the medium to long term and then you'd be talking plenty more cashish per piece than that. I think you should tell your mate that he can't afford to invest in art but he could buy some beautiful work within his budget to enjoy it, or try his luck at joining the flipping massive on here everytime there's a popular release! Not that there aren't too many here already.

agreed - to be honest, your friend's experience in purchasing these commissions from the artists directly would be a lot more fun and rewarding than simply buying it off the galleries or ebay as well!

Too much room for the prices to go down in this niche of the art market. No matter how vocal some are on the subject; there is no guarantee.

Have a look around and see whos style you like - and then support your 'local' artist. I can almost gaurantee they will appreciate you dropping them a line and showing an interest...
And forget about 'investment'.

I was in contact through www.lintnyc.com Will do on either canvas or wood. Good entry point for very street NYC type work.
