Anyone here ever bought much art to use it as a investment? Or just do it for the love of art?

I don't buy art at all. I don't like most of it, so I avoid it

I commission my ideas into art (I'm very creative but have little artistic ability myself), I consider them very much worthy investments

It's ok I suppose, but nothing like the standard I need to market with, I see my visual creations as being conceptual guidelines for more talented artists to work from x

Think buying art as an investment is like hiring an escort to do your laundry....art is something you should love, it should invoke something within you

I can't afford any art worth investing in.

The piece he did with the elephants and swans becoming reflections of each other in the water was magnificent and beautiful

I'd love to own a bob Ross painting but they are hard to come by.

I've bought pottery at auction, not much as an investment but flipping them very quickly. Tend to do rather well with moorcroft pieces. Lots of lorna bailey and Anita Harris pieces come up but they aren't worth touching for me.

Did once buy a west Germany vase which had a Dartmouth fish gurgle jug come with it, I wanted to bin the fish! Turns out they go for £30 on eBay...not bad when I paid £4 for the pair

Just my personal opinion but isn't art a bit of a mine field for investment since it's "fashionable" trends come and go and therefore your investment opportunity with it.

Got a beautiful vampire piece on our living room wall. Cost about £40 which is expensive in my mind

I wouldnt dream of paying thousands or even hundreds of pounds on a piece of art as no art is worth it in my mind.

I make it for people and then give it away.

I think I'm doing something wrong

I have bought 4 pieces & my dad has bought me another for my 40th birthday. 2 of mine have been signed by the artist & will go to the boys when they are older as when I saw them they reminded me of a funny moment. I have no idea about art, I just know what I like

Buy art for long term investment - as some of you are into erotic art and sculpture you might want to check out William Coles sculpture - his penis gun was purchased by the Paris museum of erotic art .... I also do erotic art ... Buy art you love as well and enjoy it and if it doesn't turn a profit u would have had pleasure anyway X

We like art - there's always a piece in an art or antiques shop that's handmade and pleasing. Antiques, fossils, minerals, ceramics, glassworks - stuff is cool.
