Among the most exquisite achievements of mankind, art, especially old
paintings, can enrich your life, beautify the home or office, and gain
impressive value while just hanging on the wall. This book examines
art, especially valuable paintings. Not a coffee-table art book, but a
book with information that will be priceless for those who apply the
principles to be learned here. It will take years off your journey in
becoming a successful art collector, investor, or dealer. Shortening the
learning curve and turning your art apprenticeship into a profitable
enterprise, this book will save you time and money. It will help you
avoid costly mistakes while revealing how to create opportunities in art
where none existed previously for you. Written for the new collector
and investor, this book will be an invaluable reference guide for even
the experienced dealer. You will find contact telephone numbers, Web
sites, and trade information. Learn here the mind-set and game plan of
the art collector, investor, and dealer because each has a different
motivation, buying and selling strategy, and outcome objective. We will
focus on the art dealer of old paintings. He is the professional who
earns his living buying and selling art. We will examine his techniques,
strategies, and business practices. Because the dealer buys, sells, and
negotiates art transactions every day, he has more art know-how—more
insider techniques up his sleeve, as it were—than either the collector
or the investor. The collector and the investor need to learn what the
dealer knows, acquiring the skills of the art dealer. This book aims to
equip you with the parallel skills and abilities as those of the art
dealer, so that you can buy and sell art for a profit.
