One can purchase fine art privately from
individuals or artists, at auction or from a fine
art gallery. There are several types of fine art
galleries. The most common are fine art galleries
that represent living artists. They market
several artists and have a selection of fine art
from these artists. There are fine art galleries
that deal in artwork from deceased artists. There
are also fine art galleries that specialize in
the secondary market.

Purchasing fine art from individuals can be risky
and purchasing fine art from auction houses can
be tricky. Fine art galleries have knowledgeable
employees and often you can deal directly with
the owners of the gallery. If you can verify the
reputation of a gallery and they have been in
business for a respectable time period, it is
likely that you will have a positive fine art
purchase experience.

• Research the gallery
• Before purchasing fine art or consigning fine art
  to a gallery, research the gallery to be sure
  they are reputable. Look for customer reviews and
  visit the gallerys website.
• If you are looking to purchase fine art, view
  available artwork on the gallerys website.
• Compare pricing for similar artwork by the artist
  in which you are interested by researching other
  websites.
• If you are not able to physically inspect the
  artwork at the gallery, ask for a detailed
  condition report and high resolution image of the
  front and back of the artwork.
