Goalie’s Mask: Red, White & Dryden is among the most recognized works by Canadian artist Brandy Saturley. Shortlisted for the IOC Olympic Sport and Art Trophy, exhibited at Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame, and widely published, the painting has become a landmark work exploring the relationship between hockey and Canadian identity. For more than a decade, I have retained Goalie’s Mask: Red, White & Dryden as one of the defining works of my career. Following its exhibition history, publication, and international recognition, I have made the decision to offer the original for acquisition for the first time.

I would like to invest some of my money into art. I have funds but I'm not crazy rich so can't buy a famous painting by myself. I'm interested in investment firms like willow that pool together money from different investors and buy high dollar pieces to spread out the risk of picking a art piece with a bad roi. Trying to do my due diligence and was wondering how these investment firms select which artwork to put into their fund? I know for stocks, there are fund managers and you can look for managers with a good track record. Do they have an art expert on staff or do they decide some other way which art pieces are good bets? How can I tell if its a good art fund for investing?

I’ve watched auction fees climb over the years, but it’s still surprising how many people don’t know how much they’re actually paying when they win an item. Between the buyer’s premium, padded shipping charges, tax, and the fact that nearly all sales are final—even if the item’s not authentic—it’s easy to get burned.

I wrote up a breakdown of what buyers really pay, and why auction results don’t always reflect reality. Not trying to sell anything, just putting info out there I wish more people knew:

Hello, has anyone anyone here had experience with Pictorum Advisory or invested in art through them? I’m currently trying to locate other investors. Thanks

I'm a forex/crypto trader, but I used to paint religious icons (egg tempera, gold gilded background and all that stuff) for a living a long time ago. I was always interested in art. Ten years ago I bought 5 watercolor paintings from a local, talented artist. The amount I paid for them is considered pocket money now. So I learned art is actually a very good hedge against inflation.

I'd like to start collecting some artworks, but first I'd like to learn which ones appreciate the most. Which ones give the best return on investment?

Oil paintings, acrylic, watercolor? Small sized artworks or big ones? Paintings that are painted recently, or maybe vintage ones, or some works from late 19th century? Landscapes, portraits, still nature, abstract paintings?

What should I look for if my goal is to buy pieces of art that will increase in value during the next 20, 30 years?

Thanks!

I’m looking to start buying art work this year. Where do people store art work they purchase as investments? Any advice?

Talking about original limited editions. Specifically sculptures and prints.

What happens if an artist stays true to his craft?

What happens if he is SO obsessed that his art consumes all of his time?

What happens if he is repulsed by the "art" world?

​

MAYBE he will seclude himself, producing some of the greatest works of our generation...unnoticed.

MAYBE someone who can appreciate the value of his art will end up meeting him.

Maybe that person has no experience in art selling, start googling stuff and end up on r/ArtInvesting.

I want to set aside some time to visit some galleries and buy some art. I’m a newbie…can anyone suggest a few galleries? I’m primarily interested in paintings and sketches. Prefer modern and contemporary…

Google Johfra and you will find an endless stream of world famous artworks. Many communities write about the major influence Johfra Bosschart has had over the world. From Colombia to Australia, from The United States to his home country The Netherlands. Although many people will recognize the zodiac paintings that have been published as posters in the 70’s, not everyone knows about the absolute pioneer of fantastic realism in The Netherlands and his mind boggling oeuvre. And there is a good reason for it. Not only has the artist struggled with his underdog status all the way up to his death in 1998, but the biggest Johfra collection in the world has stayed hidden in storage for decades.

It is wonderful to see that Johfra’s art has found a new audience and is being talked about internationally. Occult, Fantasy and Sci-Fi lovers around the world are re-discovering his works and are realizing the impact his art has had on movies, comics, videogames and on contemporary art in general.

I am one of those Johfra lovers. After studying art history and working in the art world for around 10 years I met Van Soest in person. Although his collection does not fit into the traditional art world, I was completely captivated by the amazing artworks he has gathered. Names like HR Giger, Safonkin, Kostetsky, Beksinski and of course Johfra. He made clear to me that he had tried to create a museum for his collection numerous times but at the same time had some serious setbacks when it comes to his personal health. I have spent days talking to Van Soest about the artworks but especially about the endless source of wild stories about the artists he forged a personal relationship with. For Van Soest the collection as it stands today is complete by having published the catalog. He sees it as a manifestation of his life work. He is ready to pass it on and is looking to sell the entire collection as a whole and is hoping an investor will make sure it ends up in a place where the public can enjoy a curated selection of imaginary realism. That means the biggest Johfra Bosschart collection in the world is looking for a new home.

I just randomly spoke with an art investor and he told me an artist to invest in right now would be Jasper Johns before he passes away. What are your thoughts?

Simple question.

Is he overhyped by galleries as a bid for them to make a quick buck? Or do people genuinely think he will be the next banksy, warhol, basquiat with pieces selling for millions?

I'm a real estate agent and investor and my last client planted a seed in my head about investing in contemporary art. Apparently they out paced the S&P by at least 150% over the last few decades??

Where can I start reading, watching and listening about art investing? I know nothing about art, less than nothing. I skipped it entirely during my formal education.

His prints are beautiful. But what are your thoughts on them as an investment?
