Everything you always wanted to know about the art market but were afraid to ask.

The art market today is incredibly dynamic. There are countless compelling works, shows and exhibitions to choose from. With so much to discover and see, it's no surprise that many people are becoming interested in collecting art. However, it is impossible to keep track of all developments, so becoming an art collector is not easy.

A Poor Collector’s Guide to Buying Great Art provides valuable guidance for those who wish to purchase art but are unsure of how or where to do so. They may have preferences in terms of styles or techniques, but they are not familiar with the buying process. They may already have specific pieces in mind, but they don't yet trust the rules of the art market — if such rules even exist.

What does someone need to know to prevent their personal tastes from leading them to make the wrong investment decisions? This book sheds light on all aspects of buying art that you will enjoy for many years, such as how to get started, how to take your tastes seriously, how to search for specific pieces, how to appraise prices and how to find reliable partners.
