By Sharon Jackson


The allure of abstract art is easy to see. It is not only colorful and vibrant but mysterious as well. Here is a chance to invest in the work of abstract oil painting artists and to get a great deal of excitement and enjoyment in the process. To follow are some top shopping tips which can help you to get started even if you have little experience.

The first aspect you must work out is whether you want to focus your collecting on work of local artists. There are lots advantages of doing this. It allows you to develop a connection over time with a particular artist and hopefully continue to collect their work in the future.

One reason that some people like to collect local artists work is that it allows them to develop a business relationship over time. That means they have the chance to invest in the long run in their work giving them much opportunity to refresh their walls at home with new paintings.

On the other hand collecting work from other artists further afield is also a real possibility thanks to the range of affordable shipping options now on offer. In fact many artists have websites where they sell directly to the public and offer shipping to locations around the world. This makes it easier than ever for buyers to connect with their work.

Another possibility is offered by those artists who live further afield but whose work is still accessible. In fact lots of artists are happy to ship their work across the country and even to buyers across the globe. This is due to affordable shipping options which are easier to access today than in years past.

Another possibility is to go with a gallery and you can find examples in cities all over the world. You might want to start by searching online for art galleries in your nearest city. You will likely find a range of results. From there take the time to visit individual gallery websites.

This is an important chance to see what sort of work they sell and whether it meets your demands. After all it can save you much time to find the best match up front before visiting a gallery. Take your time to peruse a wide range of gallery sites to find out what is on offer in advance before visiting in person. This can help you to assess styles and costs and whether it is a good match for you.

The option to attend openings and social events is one of the fun parts for many art buyers. For further help on this topic thankfully there are many easy to use resources. In fact many book stores and libraries have guides and magazines aimed at those who are interested in investing in artwork including abstract painting and sculpture. Another tip is to ask your trusted friends and colleagues for their suggestions of artists to collect as well as local events and galleries. This process may even put you in touch with works that you had not come across in the past and part of the joy of shopping is making new discoveries. You can also find a variety of blogs on the internet which are dedicated solely to the topic of collecting artwork including paintings.
