I'm confident there are some members out there that can educate me in the area of purchasing art. Many thanks in advance.
Let's say you found a piece you like and the gallery lists it for $2,500. Is that a firm price or is it more like MRSP on a car?
Is trying to negotiate considered uncouth in the art world?
If there's more than one that has your interest is a discount out of the question if you were to buy both?
Are artist's proofs really worth more being "closer to the hand" as they say?
It would not be purchased as an investment. Much like trying to resell a diamond, I wouldn't expect to recoup the money. It would be solely for my pleasure.
That being said, if it is the image itself that brings you joy, would you be just as happy buying a poster of the same thing at a fraction of the price?
