Art as a Strong Investment in a Weak Economy

Just read a very interesting article about how art has become a viable investment in this weak economic market. Since the stock market has become so volatile, Real Estate plummeted and times are so uncertain art has become a more solid investment not only competing but sometimes even beating stock market turns. 

Now...the art that's in demand is mainly work from highly known artists or old masterpieces because their prices have dropped to a point where medium wealth investors can get a piece of the pie. But how does that affect a hardworking artist with great dreams like myself and many others? Well, it's a great thing! This gets people to view art as a serious investment, it gets them excited about being a part of a great market and what would be a great investment for someone that can't afford a Picasso? purchasing art from emerging and mid-career artists that are serious about their career and that have the power to be successful.
