This article gives tips on how to buy art:
Research on Art

One of the first things to do before buying art is to empower yourself by reading up on art, visiting local art galleries, meeting artists and other people who are actively involved in this field. Talk to artists, consultants and curators to get insights about the functioning of the art market and to also network with like-minded people.
Find out about current trends, read about exhibitions and reviews, and try to get a sense of the art market, prices and resale options.
Look at images and artworks to get an idea about the kind of art that you prefer. Are you inclined towards traditional paintings, contemporary art or perhaps experimental art? It helps to be clear about what you enjoy and what kind of art engages you.
Next find out about reputed galleries and dealers. Visit galleries to see how comfortable you feel while interacting with them. If you are planning to buy art from an online source, find out about safe and credible sites who deliver authentic works. Check with galleries if there is a buy back clause or if they will help you in reselling at a future date.
Get familiar with provenance and authenticity and all the necessary precautions that you must take to ensure you buy an original artwork which is authentic.

Why are you buying?

I find that it is also important to establish your reasons for buying art – is it to cover up a vacant wall or floor space, is it a part of your investment portfolio or do you want to start building an art collection? It helps in deciding the kind of art that you should buy and also in planning a budget for it.
It is always a good idea to begin in a small way and put in only a small amount of money in the artwork initially. You could then see how you feel about the entire process, how the artwork engages you and how confident you feel about investing larger sums in art.

Budget

Perhaps the most important criterion, allocate a budget for art and put in sufficient effort to stay within it. It is often easy to get carried away and spend much more than you had initially intended.
Decide if you are going to spend small sums over a period of time or whether it is going to be a one-time investment for you.
Do make sure that it is only a small percentage of your disposable income and not a portion of your primary investment portfolio.

Galleries must evolve
Even art galleries have to evolve to survive whether they are in Canada or the United Kingdom.

That’s the view of Lawson Bell, owner of Bell Fine Art in Winchester, UK who says that embracing new talent has helped his business survive when others have been forced to close.
For the past 25 years Bell Fine Art, has been trading from Parchment Street in the historic city of Winchester in the county of Hampshire and in that time interest in antique paintings has plummeted as buyers increasingly prefer contemporary work.

“We have had to move with the times,” says Mr Bell, whose parents established the gallery in nearby Alresford in 1977. “In 1987, 90 per cent of my sales were Victorian masters with the remainder being made up of contemporary originals. Today, just five per cent of my sales are antique paintings and 95 per cent are contemporary originals.

“People will happily spend £2,000 on a contemporary painting but there are so few about that would do that on an antique one. I exhibit at the affordable art fairs and at the one in Bristol recently I was mildly surprised to see customers in their 50s and 60s buying contemporary work – 20 years ago they would have bought antique works.”

Another change has been that customers are no longer interested in purchasing posters and getting them framed. “This was big business in the early days,” recalls Mr Bell. “We used to devote the whole of the ground floor to posters where customers could browse through folders of them at their leisure and then we would frame them up. That market has all but disappeared and so we just carry a couple of catalogues now.”
