Does anyone here collect art?

Other than H2s, that is.

I'm looking to buy a Dale Chihuly piece for our 10 yr wedding anniversary but have never purchased art before. Where do I start? Online, local gallery? Any advice?

I think most of the artwork collected by people on this site is proudly displayed in the woodshed!

I'm pretty sure you have to find a dealer that works for the artist or a gallery that carries their work. Chihuly is a well known artist so you want to work with someone reputable. I'd be careful with looking on the internet, unless it is for locating a dealer whom you can meet. I'll ask the girlfriend she used to work in the NY galleries she may have some tips.

PS. I'm going to be at the Prudential center in 2 weeks. :popcorn:

I've seen a lot of his work, it was on display at FairChild Tropical Gardens, south of Miami...took about 100 photos of his work for my class...BEAUTIFUL STUFF...

Contact him(his business) directly...they may sell through their own website or a legit art dealer in a large metro area...

His prices range from a few hundred to 10's of thousands...

She was. But she divorced him when she found out he spends 3 hours a day at meatspin.
