<p>[QUOTE=&quot;&#039;Nuff_Said, post: 34191, member: 181&quot;]My opinion wasn&#039;t referring to you, your business nor your art collection. More so the OP and another poster who have flooded this board as of late with their inquires regarding art purchases and potential purchases. You, Alec and a couple other members have provided the OP on a number of occasions with what I thought was sound advice in respects to art, the purchasing of art and art collecting.....all which seem to have flown right over the OP&#039;s head.</p><p><br /></p><p>OP, my advice and words of encouragement: stop buying art (paintings, print and drawings) immediately and start buying art books and visiting art museums......immediately! Signature chasing ain&#039;t gonna leave you nothin&#039; but broke!</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, we all had to start from somewhere and that somewhere for me wasn&#039;t a discussion forum. It started with the first piece of artwork I&#039;ve ever purchased, and guess what? it wasn&#039;t signed! After a bit of research and a couple of phone calls, that unsigned work later went on to re-sell for nearly $50K. That find and sale drove me and my husband to almost every <u>book store</u> and <u>art museum</u> within our area. With no mind, eye, experience or discussion forum (only heart, will and determination to help guide us) we made it our business to learn as much as we could in a short period to silence the naysayers.</p><p><br /></p><p>As much as I would like to elaborate on that, I will not. And by all means, please listen to the advice some of these more experienced members are freely giving you. Not meaning myself....I&#039;m a nobody. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
