COLLECTING CONTEMPORARY ART 101
Buy the best example of an artist’s work that you can. Almost every collector on the planet tells a tale of missed opportunity. For the want of a few extra dollars, a masterpiece was lost. Don’t let this happen to you! Rather than buying a napkin doodle, try to go the distance; otherwise you will live regretfully ever-after.

COLLECTING CONTEMPORARY ART 101
Buying young artists’ work from young galleries is like being on the ground floor: it is exciting, fun, but also a crap-shoot. A seasoned, established gallerist, on the other hand, has made a significant commitment and financial investment in helping an artist on the career path. A good gallery will ensure that the artist has a solid exhibition track record and that his work has been placed in important institutional and private collections. Critical reviews and articles are indicative that the artist is note-worthy. This is added-value and a reasonable guarantee of the artist’s future potential.

COLLECTING CONTEMPORARY ART 101
Seek advice from a reputable source. Then get a second opinion. If the first person you meet tells you that Artist X is going to be the next Picasso or Warhol or whatever, run away as fast as you can. He may be right, but everyone will be dead long before that is proven.

COLLECTING CONTEMPORARY ART 101
Do your homework. You own a house, you own stock – you’ve certainly researched markets and value before making those commitments. Same thing for art. Set a budget and see what is available at that range in the market. Again, unless it is love at first sight (often a premonition for disaster), don’t jump in right away.

COLLECTING CONTEMPORARY ART 101
Understand your motivations. Do you see art as a compliment to your personal way of thinking? Is it to be an investment? Is it for social cachet? All are valid reasons to take the plunge.

COLLECTING CONTEMPORARY ART 101
Most people new to the collecting of art are rightfully tentative, confused and generally overwhelmed by the prospect. Many feel it is like learning a new language or joining a secret society where only a special handshake gains admittance. Indeed, entering those white cube temples to art that we call galleries can be an intimidating experience to the novice, especially when the keeper of the gate is a stony-faced, black-suited pretty young thing exuding tons of attitude. However, it needn’t be so scary.
So in the spirit of giving this season, I thought I’d give you a few tips over the course of the next two weeks to consider as you embark upon what will be a marvelous and exciting journey of discovery:
First tip:
Don’t jump at the first thing you see. Take your time and visit as many galleries and exhibitions as you can. Discover what appeals to you and what you think you would like to live with.

THE AFFORDABLE ART FAIR
Gentlemen (and Ladies) start your engines: I told you that the AAF throws a good party and here is documentary evidence. The Singapore Grand Prix F1 Pit has got to be the coolest address of any art venue anywhere. Be assured: They offer the champers in a glass, rather than squirting it all over you like they do after a race.

THE AFFORDABLE ART FAIR
Who needs Eva and Adele when you have Rubber Maid? Not sure if this was a purchase or she just picked up Michael Schumacher's door mat. Either way, it's clear that fashion statements are always headline news.

THE AFFORDABLE ART FAIR
Singapore: The Affordable Art Fair returns again the 15th-18th of November. Despite its unfortunate and irritating name, this global franchise does what it says on the tin: It offers young galleries from around the globe a platform to highlight their programs of emerging talent. For first-time buyers, young collectors and for those who want to scout the new generation, it’s a perfect situation. Plus it has two main attractions: They throw a great opening party and the whole thing takes place at the F1 Pit Building of the Singapore Grand Prix. On the tarmac, you can pretend you are Lewis Hamilton or Jensen Button. Or you can bend over and kiss their rubber tire tracks. For those otherwise inclined, gaze out the window and be the Bernie Ecclestone of all that you survey.
