Art Collection
Starting an art collection
For those looking to build an art collection, for which to adorn the walls of their Cape Town holiday homes, the collector should start by viewing a lot of art as a means of ‘educating their eye’. This will happen over time, after much continual examining and reading about the kind of art that resonates with each particular collector.
The buying of art for a luxury apartment Cape Town is a personal and emotional decision, the collector should buy works that they personally connect with. The collector should not buy art with the intention of it matching the colour scheme of their holiday apartments in Cape Town. Unlike other investments where the buyer weighs up all the facts about the object and compares it to other objects, the acquisition of art is not always an easy endeavor.
It is advisable to look for works by living South African artists, this may give the collector the chance to meet the artist in person. Be aware of where an artist’s work is published, as their success directly relates to the appreciation of your artwork.
Cape Town has many art galleries, most of them situated in Greenpoint or Woodstock. There are also many emerging artist’s whose work may be affordable now but worth a lot more in the future. Attending graduate exhibitions of the major institutions is a great place to find the first piece of your collection. Look out for the Michaelis and Ruth Prowse graduate shows that happen at the end of each year.
Currently it is quite trendy to hang your small art collection all together, salon style, on one feature wall, art collections are displayed this way in many luxury apartments Cape Town. It is also popular for the collector to own the catalogue to the artist’s exhibitions and have them displayed as coffee table books.
