It can be difficult to navigate the world of contemporary art since there are so many new artist that enter the art space every day. Although the online exhibition space offers a plethora of marketing options, it is more and more difficult for artists to get picked up by prominent galleries or to draw attention from collectors and art enthusiasts.
Imagine you as a collection had bought a Banksy for only €100 back in 2004. The prices of Banksy’s artworks have since escalated and you’d likely be able to sell it for more than €100,000 today. What does this tell us? If you buy the right contemporary art, you could be making a smart investment.
