Are there any guarantees?

No! Nobody can guarantee that the work you buy today will be worth more tomorrow. What you want to find is a knowledgeable dealer with a good understanding of how the market has fared in the past and which artists are among the more important ones.

Art as investment alone

Don´t ever buy a piece of art for investment alone. Always love the work of art you are purchasing and it will always be sound.

Buy works by known artists

You are always better off buying works by known and established artists. While this does not guarantee that their works will increase in value, you will always have a better chance of seeing your ´investment´ grow if the artist has an established gallery behind them and a good following of collectors.
