'The very best book on the subject ever published' Bernard Ewell,
Personal Property Journal (the trade publication of the American
Society of Appraisers) The art world can appear impenetrable to the
beginner. This classic book, in print since 1990, is an invaluable
primer that will help anyone to penetrate the thickets of
inscrutable 'insider info' and esoteric jargon. Updated for today's
art market, including online buying, The Art of Buying Art is
without a doubt the most accessible book on how to research,
evaluate, price and buy artworks - for anyone who wants to buy art.
No previous knowledgeof art or the art business is necessary.
Topics include: * how to research and evaluate art prices like the
professionals * how to build a quality collection * how to spot
fakes and forgeries * how to buy art at auctions and directly from
artists * how to negotiate prices * how to tell the difference
between an original and a reproduction Bamberger provides the
information needed to transform anyone into an informed art
consumer, to protect collectors from bad buys and to help them
locate the best art at the correct prices.
