About the PRICE OF ART

Arthur Boyd in Galeria Aniela, for the first time  exhibiting together (under one roof) with family: David Boyd, Jamie Boyd, Guy Boyd, Lenore Boyd, Tessa PercevalArtists set fair prices on their creations individually by the merit (it is little to do with the costs of materials and labour required in making).

By pricing their work, artists aspire to make a living with their creations and create unbiased market values.

Once an artwork is get to the hands of the first buyer, its commercial value is largely determined by the principle of supply and demand, but it can be managed by the gallery the artist is represented or the artist's primary dealer. By doing the gallery can participate in the pricing works by artists gallery represents.

Galeria Aniela supports the artist's prices so the artists can make living with their creations. When you purchase at Galeria Aniela you get a work of art of impeccable provenance that is genuine, original and unique.

Artworks of late artists are traded at individual prices in the prevailing art collector’s opinion. History play the essential role of supplying attribution, establishing opinion and authenticating what is offered on the market - see prices famous artist's paintings.

No different than any market, a work of art is a commodity for which a market is created and maintained by financially interested parties. The market value of the art item is derived from its exchange value, the price a buyer pays for the artwork.

Individual works of art are traded at individual prices. The value placed on one artwork by the World Art Market may differ from the critical value placed on the similar artwork or the same work at different time and location. The price of work of outstanding rarity and quality can exceed all reasonable expectations.

Auction prices cannot be assumed to fairly represent the artworks value. You have to develop your eye for quality and use your own sense of art value.

Prices of art fluctuate and may differ by significant factor and vary from item to item even by the same artist and size, in the prevailing opinion of a collector. No two objects are exactly the same, prices and values vary being particular to each object and other factors which all affect prices - such as the artist's standing, the artwork's condition, provenance, and exhibition history. Also other seemingly unrelated elements may affect the artwork value - see appraisal guidelines.

fakes
Be vigilant

Caution is particularly important when buying fine art.

Galeria Aniela encourages collectors to look for solid provenance and exhibition history. To avoid making costly mistakes, buy works of ART of impeccable provenance from the art-dealer that deals with the artist.

Verification, inclusion in publications, is an absolute essential, ideally leading all the way back to the artist.

Bargain hunting clouds the judgment, exposing susceptible shoppers to unscrupulous sellers that offer artworks that are misrepresented and of questionable provenance including bogus art.

By all means shop around and compare prices, quality and provenance, as it alters price by significant factor. Judge each piece for its own merits. However, too great preoccupation with the price is often counter-productive.

Some buyers aim to save themselves a commission or may aspire to spot a 'Sleeper’, a Misattributed Masterpieces That Earn Millions instead may acquire a fake art.

A sleeper is defined as an artwork that has been undervalued and mislabeled due to an expert's oversight and consequently is undersold at auction. Accordingly, the art object is introduced into the public art market under a wrong label. What is fake art? Art forgery is creating and selling of artworks which are falsely credited to other, usually more famous artists.

Art purchase as a legitimate tax deduction


TAX DEDUCTION

 

Tax advantages are changed regularly, to satisfy yourself please seek professional assistance to check the latest details.

Work environment requires artworks on premises to be attractive, that includes business and home office. The addition of the artwork to any office space makes the environment healthier and more attractive. Beyond enhancing almost any type of decor, artworks can also become a viable investment. Art purchases may qualify to bring Tax deductions including some business expense expenditure.

A business-owner can spend reasonable amounts of money on artworks for the workplace and in many cases can expect to take advantage of a tax write off.

Common tax deduction when Buying & selling art

There are instances in which a person who buys or sells artwork can take advantage of tax deductions and write offs. The most commonly used 'write offs' that relates to artworks involves a deduction when a person sells a work of art that has dropped in value since the initial purchase. The seller may qualify for a tax deduction or 'write off' based on the difference in value of the artwork. Business tax advantages are changed regularly so verify it with your accountant.

A Loan To purchase 

A LOAN may reduce your tax bill, the interest of your loan is deductible also, the Expenses related to the loan like (advertising, agent commission, improvement, cleaning, repair restoration, framing, insurance, legal fees on the purchase as well as the sale, travel expenses). If you decide to rent your art then your expenses may be claimed from the date the art investment first became available for rent.

Interior Design

If you are involved in interior design and you purchase artwork with the idea of using it on behalf of a client, that purchase normally will be considered a legitimate business expense. Therefore, you likely will be able to write off or deduct the cost of such artwork from your profits. Keep in mind that when you use the artwork in a decorating project, or when you sell the artwork to a client, any money you earn for that sale above and beyond what you paid for the artwork originally will be considered income for your business.

Although there are ways in which artwork can be used as a means to obtain a tax write off or deduction, the primary focus of purchasing, selling or trading in art cannot be tax-related. There are ways in which purchasing, holding and ultimately selling art can be a solid investment plan. However, in the majority cases, significant tax write off associated with art ownership is not an essential element of that type of investment.
