Well... they're my joint team

Next big thing?, by daisy on Mar 20, 2008 22:51:27 GMT 1, I didn't realy go to bed and I'm sorry if some of you can't relax of a Thursday however remember art is in the eye of the beholder/bank balance holder. He who has quickest finger is winner. That p*sses us all off. LARGER EDDITIOIONS? NEW THREAD? IS LAGER AND LARGER ALMOST SPELT THE SAME? Oh the irony?(sounds German "LARGER") I'm waffling. Now It is realy time for me to go to bed. Night night.

Next big thing?, by morrissey1 on Mar 20, 2008 23:12:21 GMT 1, the whole idea of the Next Big Thing is a bit of a myth, so just buy what you can afford and what you like (obviously).....or you can still buy the art from last year's next big thing at Black Market.....set of 4 prints, not sold out.....But if the real question is what will make you the most money on the short term, Banksy is of course one of the very few sure-things at this point.....IMO

That was only because of the extra height afforded by the cross

Next big thing?, by spencerlee on Mar 20, 2008 23:25:57 GMT 1, I'm talking about you rounding on new forum members with your lord of the manor attitude. Can I ask another question. Why cant people buy art to invest? Who says you have to like it?
The reason you will get a hostile reception much of the time is that many people ONLY buy art they like with no thought for resale value. When people come crashing in here, sniffing about for names, and buying art purely for investment so that people who love it for it's artistic merit cannot afford it any more, there is going to be resentment.
This forum, despite what it might be now, started off as somewhere where people enjoyed the images and talked about them....as time has gone on, more people have viewed art as an investment, and the effect has been to make the costs spiral.
Me, I have ISAs and an IFA to deal with my investments, and I buy art because I want it on the wall and I love looking at it.
Hope this helps.

I buy because it truly makes me happy but also for investment. I have many pieces I will never sell but that dosent mean I dont keep up to date with seconday values. I also make certain purchases with re-sale in mindn and that profit usually goes toward another purchase. I think alot of folks here claim they only buy because they love the imagery and have no cares about secondary value but I also bet they could tell you pretty accurately what alot of their goods are fetching on ebay.

I hear what you are saying, and think you are right. You have 3 groups.
1) Investement only 2) Art and investment 3) Art only
Now I would fall into this last group. I've just spent $2K, and that money has effectively been written off by me and I don't expect to see another penny of it. This way I am not prone to any artist falling in and out of favour. Perhaps I am going about this the wrong way. I dunno. *shrugs shoulders*
That's not to say I will never sell anything....wall space is limited, tastes change, money is finite. But when I do, any money I get (profit or not on my original purchase price) will be a plus.

Oh wait a minute.........
