Reproductions or original art?

[Valmy]

You can get works from unknown local artists easily in the low triple digits here.

Yep. I don't think Marty was talking about hitting the auction circuit.

I just find this thread surreal.  I mean, I know languish as a whole is rich and Martinus is super rich.  But talking about buying original art is just...in the stratosphere.  I have no idea how much art costs, but I presume lots and lots and lots of zeros are involved 

You can spend as much or as little as you want on original art.

Me personally right now I probably wouldn't spend more than $10,000 on a piece, and I'd have to really like it to spend that much.

I've seen original works by unknown artists selling for less than some quality reproductions of famous paintings.

What others have said... original art is cheap as long as you buy it from unknowns.  We have a wall hanging thing in our bathroom that was done by an original artist and we paid nothing for it... it 'came with' our old house, and Princesca likes it so she brought it to our new house.

Come to London, Mart. I've actually seen a lot of art at affordable prices in galleries in ashore ditch and Bethnal Green.

I've got two original art works, three reproductions and a couple of travel photos that I change every few months.
Like the others said, original art doesn't have to be expensive at all. In fact, mine were not much more expensive than the reproductions.

Like I said, I have no idea.  The only time I come across art prices is when the news report that somebody has spent a couple of billion in art auctions.  I don't think I have walked into an art gallery before.  I'll stick to my white walls

Have you checked to see you don't live in some kind of special medical ward?

I have my computer if I need to look at anime pictures
