Art
is
a
beautiful
expression
of
culture,
history,
and
personal
vision,
and
purchasing
a
piece
can
be
a
deeply
rewarding
experience.
Whether
you’re
a
seasoned
collector
or
a
first-time
buyer,
the
process
of
selecting
and
buying
art
can
be
both
exciting
and
daunting.
At Framed Gallery, we are dedicated to helping you navigate this journey. Here are five tips to guide you in buying art that resonates with your soul and enhances your space.
Before
you
start
looking
for
art
to
buy,
take
some
time
to
understand
what
styles
and
themes
you
are
drawn
to,
as
there
are
so
many
styles
to
choose
from!
Visit local Cleveland art galleries, explore online collections, and attend art shows to see a variety of artworks. Pay attention to what catches your eye and resonates with your emotions.
Do you prefer contemporary pieces, traditional paintings, or something more abstract? Understanding your taste will help you make more confident decisions and leave you with pieces that you will appreciate for a lifetime.
So
you’ve
found
a
few
pieces
that
call
to
you!
Dig
a
little
deeper
by
learning
about
the
artist
behind
the
artwork.
This
can
enrich
your
appreciation
and
connection
with
the
piece.
At our Framed Gallery, we proudly feature African & African American artists whose work reflects a diverse range of experiences and perspectives. Ask us about the featured artists, and we’ll be more than happy to give you the background you’re looking for.
Beyond this, research their influences, and their other works. This knowledge can provide context and depth to the artwork you are considering, perhaps revealing another beautiful piece that you’d like to incorporate into your space as well.
When
buying
art
for
your
home
or
office
space,
think
about
where
you
plan
to
display
it.
Consider
the
size,
colors,
and
overall
aesthetic
of
the
space.
Measure
the
wall
or
area
where
the
art
will
hang
to
ensure
it
fits
perfectly.
A large, bold piece can be a stunning focal point in a living room, while smaller, more intimate works might be better suited for a bedroom or hallway. Visualize how the artwork will complement the existing decor and enhance the room’s atmosphere.
One thing to note, though, is that as you move through life, your space may change. The art that you purchase should be bought because it resonates deeply with you, not because it matches your living room carpet. That way, even though your home may change, your appreciation and connection to your art remains the same.
Art
can
range
in
price
from
affordable
prints
to
high-end
originals.
Determine
how
much
you
are
willing
to
spend
before
you
start
shopping.
Setting
a
budget
can
help
narrow
down
your
choices
and
prevent
impulse
buys
that
you
might
regret
later.
Remember, investing in art is also about supporting the artists and their craft, so consider this when setting your budget. Our gallery offers a range of artworks at different price points to accommodate various budgets.
While
it’s
important
to
consider
factors
like
budget
and
space,
ultimately,
buying
art
is
a
personal
decision.
Trust
your
instincts
and
choose
pieces
that
speak
to
you
on
a
personal
level.
Art
is
meant
to
evoke
emotions
and
reflect
your
unique
taste
and
personality.
If
a
piece
of
art
moves
you,
it’s
likely
the
right
choice
for
you.
