“ You can move it around if you move your furniture or just want a change in placement to freshen up an area.

What happens when the allotted budget just does not warrant spending a lot of money on fine art?

Page 12: Decorating your urban condo

“ You’ll just have to be creative and make use of the ways that you can get that art within your price range.

Page 13: Decorating your urban condo

The easiest way to do that is to realize that you need to most likely find exceptional limited edition prints rather than original art or perhaps paintings or sculptures by new artists who don’t charge as much for their creations.

Learn before you buy.

Browse online to get a feel as to:

• What type of paintings or sculptures you are most interested in

• What different terms mean in relation to art, (and importantly)

• Research recent selling prices

Where do you go?

“ Of course, you can go to art galleries and auction houses but, again, visit those that feature artists in your price range, and be sure to familiarize yourself with the process if you want to buy at an auction.

Local art shows are an excellent source because the artists are usually new, come from a variety of locations, and are anxious to sell their wares at reasonable prices.

Their work is specifically showcased with excellent exposure to enhance their careers and connect artists with the art-buying community.
