The ART of Investments
Living space|August 2022
Art is more than just decoration and a relief to the eyes. It's also a pretty good investment when taken seriously, and done right

The ART of Investments

Are you a fan of the impressionist or Classical Art movements? Or are you more of a Banksy enthusiast? Whatever it may be, art brings liveliness and brightness to any space it occupies, from mosaics and ceramics to oil paintings and threaded patterns. But how do we know we're making the right investment with art?

Why Art?

In an article, Gqeberha-based artist, Farook Mohammed spoke about how important it is to preserve and capture the beauty around us. Other than the money factor, he says that local art is important to invest in because not only do you make money from it, but you also contribute to its preservation.

We see art as therapeutic, as decorative, as emotional and volatile. Similar to any other investment, even art is based on figures and competition. Choosing an artist to invest in may seem like something based on chance, but if you play your cards right, an up-and-coming artist may just skyrocket to success and the cash value for their work too.
