Rough ride in markets? Try fine art, experts suggest
CBC News
As many people anxiously eye the daily rise and fall of stock markets around the world, some experts are advising they look into alternative investments like fine art.
The art market has a life of its own, and "prices have gone up tremendously in the past five years," Montreal curator Paul Maréchal told CBC News.
Not only are high-profile works by masters such as Pablo Picasso or Claude Monet fetching record prices, the markets for contemporary art and for emerging artists are also seeing a boom.
In an economic downturn, savvy investors can find deals by snapping up affordable paintings for sale later, Maréchal said.
"There will be less competition in the sales rooms and at galleries and so on, and so forth. If you are fortunate to have some money, it's a blessed time to buy art, definitely," he said.

Artist's Statement
" Making art is an amazing process-hard to understand or really describe. It simply happens. Oh, there are lots techniques to learn, lots of processes to figure out, and lots of studies to be made, but in the end it is a culmination of more than all those things. It comes from inside and it will not stand much shaping-all the studies and learned skills only help me to give it a voice that is recognizable by others."

Although I sell my art in stores and galleries,
I also sell on eBay because I can quickly find out if people like a particular style.
Also... at galleries I may have to wait months for a piece to sell, and then another months to get my 50% of the selling price.
On eBay, my canvases will sell quickly and I get paid right away.
It's also a good deal for you, because you are buying directly from the me - artist, and you will decide the value.
We alway ship fast - within 2-5 days you will get it, with tracking number!!!
