<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moontymes, post: 34094, member: 41&quot;]I know this is a very inflammatory statement but this is how I feel.....</p><p>*most* artwork is crap. Even when dealing with the work of a listed artist with an established auction record, still, most of it is crap. If I refused to buy things I didn&#039;t love, I would barely buy anything at all. I have a personally very picky taste for myself. Therefore, even if I don&#039;t love the piece, sometimes I will buy a piece because I know others will like it.&nbsp; This also goes for everything else, ceramics, metalware, whatever. Most of it is crap. One thing I do when trying to evaluate any kind of antiques is to ask myself &quot;What makes this NOT crap?&quot; If I cannot answer that question, I try not to buy it. Of course, I&#039;ve still made mistakes and bought things that I shouldn&#039;t have, but asking myself that question has helped me out a lot lately.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
