Planning Considerations for the New Art Collector

Collecting art can be a gratifying experience that can take you into an exclusive world of auction houses, galleries and artists’ studios. There’s a lot to learn in the early days of collecting, and most collectors start small. But if you want to elevate your art buying to collecting, it’s necessary to make a mental shift, including seeing how art should fit into your investment portfolio. Being guided by your heart (and your eye) is important, but making the best financial decisions requires you to also think with your head.
