When most people talk about investments, they would immediately think of stocks, bonds, or equities. However, most do not know that sculptures are also some form of alternative investment. Here are some things to know about original sculpture art as a form of alternative investment in this age.
Take note that while the art market is still pretty young, it is one of the markets that is growing rather rapidly. Sculptures specifically, have a demand that is almost as high as paintings in some countries. In fact, it is quite common to see galleries showcasing tons of sculptures for onlookers to scout.
Now, since the art market is rather unregulated, then a lot of feeling would have to be involved. What most art collectors would do is that they would try to feel sculptures and see which one appeals to them the most. The one that appeals to them the most would mean that these pieces have value.
Now, if one is interested in getting a sculpture that resonates with him or her, he or she has to value it. The best way to do that is through an appraisal as this will also verify the authenticity. Take note that copies also do have some value but their value will never be as high as authentic works.
After finding out the authenticity of an artwork, the next thing to do would be to check the demand. One of the biggest challenges about buying fine art would be keeping it there without anyone wanting to buy it. In that sense, sculptures that have resale value but no demand are not investment worthy.
In order to know the demand of a sculpture, one has to check how many times it has been resold. One will be able to know the history of a sculpture through working with the gallery to trace it back. There would also usually be some receipts that go along with the sales of sculptures so one can ask for that too.
Now, if the artwork is still brand new, then the tool that one can use for determining the demand would be the name of the artist. If some of the other works of the artist have been resold numerous times in the span of a year, then one can tell that the name of the artist is in demand. If the name of the artist is in demand, then one can also be pretty sure that a new piece of work will also eventually be in demand in the future.
Now, those are some of the tips that one has to take note of if ever he or she has decided to invest in sculptures. Take note that investing in fine art is a little bit tricky because art is not really regulated in most areas which means there are no information necessary to make a decision. So in order to make the best choice, one just really has to go with his or her gut and look for a piece of art that he or she thinks has value then logically think about whether there is a demand.
