Alternative investments are the types of investments that are outside of the stock market, bond market or equity market. One very interesting and very tasteful forms of alternative investments would of course be the art market. In particular original sculpture art is in high demand in the art market.
Now, one of the most interesting things to know is that the art market is actually growing steadily because more and more people are appreciating art. Sculptures, in particular, are used for many purposes such as decorations for both houses and offices. Galleries would sell them in order to promote the artist who made them.
Now, since the art market is rather unregulated, then a lot of feeling would have to be involved. What most art collectors would do is that they would try to feel sculptures and see which one appeals to them the most. The one that appeals to them the most would mean that these pieces have value.
After one has felt the sculptures and chosen a particular one, the next thing to do would be to appraise it. It is important to check for the authenticity of a piece of work supplemented by a certificate of authenticity in order to know the real value. Copies do have value but authentic art has more value.
When investing in sculptures, not only is the authenticity very important but also the demand. A lot of people go into the art market thinking that they can make money once the value of the art goes up. Not many take into consideration that although it has resale value, it has to have a market in which in can be sold.
The best way to know the demand of the piece of art is to first check the number of times it was sold over a period of time. Usually, artworks would have a record in which it was sold along with the sales receipts that prove the sale. Galleries would usually have these records and they can be used by investors.
Now, if the artwork is still brand new, then the tool that one can use for determining the demand would be the name of the artist. If some of the other works of the artist have been resold numerous times in the span of a year, then one can tell that the name of the artist is in demand. If the name of the artist is in demand, then one can also be pretty sure that a new piece of work will also eventually be in demand in the future.
Now, those are some of the tips that one has to take note of if ever he or she has decided to invest in sculptures. Take note that investing in fine art is a little bit tricky because art is not really regulated in most areas which means there are no information necessary to make a decision. So in order to make the best choice, one just really has to go with his or her gut and look for a piece of art that he or she thinks has value then logically think about whether there is a demand.
