Why buy art? To answer this question, ask
yourself what your reasons are for thinking of
acquiring a piece of art. An artwork can cost a
considerable sum, but if it meets your needs,
it蒺s worth every penny.
Art Is for Enjoyment
Art is meant to be displayed. Don蒺t ever
feel pressured to buy something you won蒺t a鄄
ppreciate looking at day after day, no matter
what other people may say. Don蒺t buy some鄄
thing that doesn蒺t appeal to you just because it
is trendy
(流行的 )
, because the artist is fa鄄
mous, or because you have been advised that
the artwork will make a good investment. If
you don蒺t like the artwork at all, don蒺t buy it!
Art Improves Your Environment
Have you ever noticed that all beautiful
homes have art as an essential part of the
decoration? Art lends life and colour to other鄄
wise plain and ordinary walls. A well鄄thought鄄
out art collection will help create a unique pat鄄
tern in your home and make it more attractive.
For similar reasons, art often graces commer鄄
cial buildings, such as reception rooms and the
offices of top executives.
Art Makes a Statement
The kind of art you surround yourself says
much about your personality, tastes and values.
Art truly is a mirror of the soul.
Art Enriches Your Life
Love
—

contributes to healthier living and a longer
lifespan.
Art should enrich your life. Otherwise.
Why do you spend specious time and resources
on it?
Just remember to select something which
will appeal to your tastes, and keep to a sensi鄄
ble budget. Good art needn蒺t cost an arm and
a leg.
Happy art collecting
