Maastricht Art Fair

Sorry I've been gone for so long. I've been fortunate enough to spend some time in Europe for the Maastricht Art Fair. Many of the clients that I represent prefer contemporary art, but every so often I'll come across someone who is really interested in finding some quality old master pieces. I'm actually finding that many people are turning to old masters in this recession because they are thought to hold their value better than other styles of art. It is a tried and true painting style that never had that major spike in prices - and thus never had the dip. 

This fair is a force to be reckoned with - and while it has seen a bit of a decline in interest in recent years - dealers are still bringing high quality works of art to market. I'll give a bit more of an update once I have a chance to sit down and breathe a bit. 

Armory Show

Just a quick reminder to all you art-minded folks that you ought to get out to see the Armory Show in NYC this weekend. It should be a great art fair with some really wonderful pieces. I always look forward to this show. 

The first step to learning about collecting is learning about the art - especially the types of art that you like or would like to start collecting. 

Have fun!
