Gold, jewels and two dimensional and smaller three dimensional works of fine art (such as paintings, prints and drawings or Faberge eggs) remain the three sure and secure investments. Once owned they are not subject to taxes or much upkeep and usually can be easily transported.

History has proven that gold, jewels and fine art are easily traded in times of economic or political difficulty.

Art by great artists on paper has not decreased in value anywhere near other valuable papers such as money, stocks and bonds. The international art market means that good art investments, whether of brilliant emerging artists or well known ones, can be bought and sold using whatever currency is a better value. Currently many artists and dealers who show and trade internationally are insisting on being paid in Euros. Some of these artists are American, while others are Europeans who shy away from receiving a fluctuating and weak dollar.

Art Can be One of the Best Recession Proof Investments

While gold and jewels will retain or increase in worth with the economy they will not skyrocket in value. Not many people can afford to collect van Goghs and other blue chip artists, however there are drawings and prints by established masters that are affordable. However, just like the gold and jewels they will retain their value better than other investments but may not increase in worth dramatically.

Art by emerging artists or recognized living Contemporary artists who are making obvious contributions to art that may inspire other artists and future generations. Just making beautiful traditional art or doing what others are doing—what’s in vogue – does not signal a great artist whose work will grow in statute and price.

The Lesson of Southampton Hospital

The only hospital in the Hamptons is in Southampton . Emerging and poor artists have a long history of trading their work for services. Although most of the artists who traded work for medical help never became famous, some did. So by the beginning of the Millennium the corridors of Southampton hospital rivaled the Parrish Art Museum , about a mile away. Walking through the corridors was like trip down a who’s who in the Hamptons art world, which included well recognized artists. When the Southampton hospital suffered a financial crisis reportedly brought on by mismanagement long after it began trading with artists one of its major assets was that art. It was sold and helped the hospital regain its fiscal footing.

For a few years inexpensive prints replaced the beloved art, but little by little the art of the newer Hamptons artists of today is appearing again on the walls.

The Dentist of ArtReview’s 100

Every year ArtReview has published a list of 100 most important people in the international Contemporary Art world. For several years a British dentist Adrian Mullish regularly appeared on the list due to his collection, which is highly valued. The collection includes many now recognized British artists, including Damian Hirst and Tracy Emin. It was obtained by trading services to emerging impoverished such as Damien Hirst and Tracy Enim.

Using the Internet

The Internet is leveling the playing field for all collectors. The hottest newest artists whose idea will change the history of art can all be found on the Internet if they are located in a place where there is a connection to the web. Creative, innovative people are early adopters.

Just as investors can research stocks, commodities and other investment vehicles, art and artists can be researched over the Internet. Artists and galleries have independent sites, and can also be found on art sites, as can art news and even art auctions and offerings.

Trading and collecting the work of emerging or established living artists remains savvy even during a recession. The trick is to find the artists whose work is truly innovative and may inspire subsequent generations of artists and viewers. Those are the artists whose work will endure. Discover and collect an artist early and the investment will best or at least equal gold or jewelry or any really hot tip.
