@Very-Rusty saidI am not sure about this. Of course if an artist has some fame and then there is clear that no new paintings will surface the prize will go up. But I know that you can get paintings for free if you purchase the frame in some art shops.
The paintings are always worth more after the artist is deceased!

If it is free it is not really done by the Artist, that is a FACT!!! Providing the Artist was a good one that is what I am talking about. Everyone knows the painting goes up in value once the Artist is deceased.

@Very-Rusty saidI have a couple if signed and numbered prints by a Canadian artist that have gone up in value since I purchased them and that artist is still “among” us @ 95.👍

@Very-Rusty saidI buy art because I like it, not for its $ value.

@Great-Big-Stees saidI don't think that is truly the case, you value the monetary value of the painting and will probably leave it to your loved ones in your will, and they will eventually sell it.

@Very-Rusty saidNo, you misunderstand. I buy art pieces because I like to look at them. If they increase in value that is just how the market “might” go. Yes I will likely leave them to my family, who like me, enjoy looking at them and more than likely would do as I did…pass them on. Now should they decide to sell them, so be it. I got out of them what I wanted.👍

@Very-Rusty saidPeople buy work of art for different reasons. Not because of its value on the market but because you like it and want it. I was given paintings by my art-loving father - not his own work but pieces he bought on different occasions without having the need for them. He gave them to me - oil paintings, water colour, lithography - and I love them too. My family though I believe do not feel the same way. 🙂
