Collecting Art

How do I start my art collection?

To help you get started with your collection, we put together 10 tips for you. Collecting takes time – regardless of whether you are interested in art for decorative purposes, to diversify your portfolio, or simply for the love of art!
 

 


Discover your taste!

View as much art as possible, both offline and online.

Set a budget!

This will help you decide what you can afford and where you can buy it.

Why do you want to purchase this particular piece?

Always ask yourself whether you want to purchase art to decorate your space, make an investment, or simply because you have fallen in love with a piece and its history.

Do your research!

Online marketplaces such as the VAN HAM database, Artnet, or Artprice can help you explore the market, compare prices, and get started.

Use social media!

By following the right Instagram pages or YouTube channels, you can keep track of artists, galleries, museums, and the latest events in the art world.

Ask the experts!

Get advice from our experts on the authenticity, provenance, and condition of the artwork.

Take your time!

Collecting is about finding the right piece at the right time.

Adjust your expectations!

At an auction, you cannot win every item you bid on.

Art as an investment must be strategically considered!

If you are buying art solely as an investment, you should be clear about your options for resale.

Consider limited editions!

Limited editions can be a good way to get started in collecting: they are original works of art at affordable prices, which are increasingly becoming a must-have for collectors.
