Why buy a painting?
There are several good reasons to buy a genuine painting. Unlike the classic framed poster or the numbered lithograph, a painting is an authentic piece of craftsmanship and history, on which a professional artist has spent many hours perfecting before it ended up with you, the lucky owner.
Most people buy a painting to decorate their home, office or similar. Others buy a painting as an investment, and some buy art for more practical reasons, because a workplace should have a little soul or someone you love should have a special and personal gift.
Investing in art?
Art is a difficult thing to invest in, as it requires considerable insight into what is going on in the art world. In addition, the pricing of a painting is most often an expression of an artist's popularity at a given moment, in other words tied to supply and demand.
Many living artists make the classic mistake that, when their popularity falls, they become desperate and increase their supply in the hope that demand will rise, with the result that their prices fall along with the value of your investment. A good rule of thumb if you are going to invest in art is therefore to buy works by deceased artists with a name, or from living artists who are known beyond their home country's borders.
A good example of this is Michael Kvium. A living Danish artist who paints dark, lifelike oil paintings. He has managed to balance his popularity by limiting his supply of works, while fertilising the market with limited-edition lithographs to promote those same original works, but at prices accessible to a wider audience.
That, combined with rising demand from abroad, in particular from China, has made the prices of Kvium's paintings and lithographs explode. A difficult prediction for anyone who simply wants a beautiful painting for the wall that they like.
