Valuing Original Sculpture Art As Investments

By Michael Brown


While the more popular means of investments are the stock market, the bond market, or the forex market, there is also the presence of a fine art market. Now, sculptures are actually quite profitable from an investment point of view if one knows how to choose. Here is a guide on how to invest in original sculpture art.

Now, one of the most interesting things to know is that the art market is actually growing steadily because more and more people are appreciating art. Sculptures, in particular, are used for many purposes such as decorations for both houses and offices. Galleries would sell them in order to promote the artist who made them.

Of course, investment practices will be a little bit different with regard to art. First of all, most art collectors would go with their feelings first when looking at sculptures rather than with their brain. In a way, it would be like buying a business and seeing if it resonates value.

After one has felt the sculptures and chosen a particular one, the next thing to do would be to appraise it. It is important to check for the authenticity of a piece of work supplemented by a certificate of authenticity in order to know the real value. Copies do have value but authentic art has more value.

When investing in sculptures, not only is the authenticity very important but also the demand. A lot of people go into the art market thinking that they can make money once the value of the art goes up. Not many take into consideration that although it has resale value, it has to have a market in which in can be sold.

The best way to know the demand of the piece of art is to first check the number of times it was sold over a period of time. Usually, artworks would have a record in which it was sold along with the sales receipts that prove the sale. Galleries would usually have these records and they can be used by investors.

For the new sculptures that have just been created and do not have records of sales yet, another good way to check the demand would be to see the other works of the artist. Check the most popular artworks that he or she has created and see how high the demand for the works are. In this sense, one will now judge the value of the sculptures based on the name of the artist and whether or not he or she has a title that can spark demand.

Now, those are some of the tips that one has to take note of if ever he or she has decided to invest in sculptures. Take note that investing in fine art is a little bit tricky because art is not really regulated in most areas which means there are no information necessary to make a decision. So in order to make the best choice, one just really has to go with his or her gut and look for a piece of art that he or she thinks has value then logically think about whether there is a demand.
