My wife is a very fine and successful artist and we met Thomas K. at an art expo several years ago. I read the trade mags from time to time and have learned a smidgeon about art. When this market heads south you won't be able to use those expensive art prints as anything other than wall paper, along with worthless internet stock certificates. Art of that type is extremely cyclical based on upper middle class folks having more $ than sense. Why else would someone pay $5,000 for a gicle(read: fancy laser print; actual cost about $10!)? Art...buy what you like to look at and can afford. Never buy art thinking that you can sell it for more later on... Unless you're buying Van Gogh. -g-
