Buying abstract paintings

Purchase and collection of abstract painting can be a labor of love. I love abstract paintings. I think my favorite medium is gouache. I recently purchased a work from Oscar Bluemner. The person I bought the abstract painting of had it in storage for more than twenty years. I'm going to hang this piece in my Office.

I found an oil abstract painting that was dated 1947 which was painted by Louis Bassi Siegriest. I liked the composition, he felt oddly soothing. Artist signed on the back of the painting. It was a little out of my price range, but I bought it anyway.

Trade is the name of an abstract painting, I bought the artist Joanne Riddle, while I was in Connecticut. The room was huge and I had to have sent by freight home. Blue paint was so bright. The whole composition was absolutely inspired.

I bought a painting abstract for my sister-in-law last year. Artist of the exhibit was Leonardo Nierman and the environment that he used oil. I bought the non-framed piece and took my sister-in-law of frames to choose the framework.

I tried to buy an abstract painting of the Mayor of our city. I offered him two thousand dollars for the modernist abstract colorful figure. The artist used, white and blue red and I wanted to acquire for my mother-in-law. She would have liked it, but the Mayor was not willing to part with it.

My mother has decorated his house in a style that she liked to Santa Fe. I bought a large abstract painting to his favourite artist, Lou Monti. She saw his work in a number of houses and always raves on their subject. She was so happy when she saw the painting that I bought for her hanging on the wall of his living room.

I dated a guy once who had an abstract painting signed by Robert Gillberg on his wall. I saw something different every time that I saw it. This painting was an attraction that I cannot quite explain just. He was always buy art and evolution of the paintings abstract on its walls, but this particular piece has always remained. I imagine that he is attracted by it even.

Abstract painting that I bought for my brother has not worked in his apartment. I ended up buying a painting that was a little too big for the room that it was intended. Colors do not work in the room who has worked for its size.

I ended up selling this abstract painting to the same place that I had bought on eBay! I ended up making a profit on the abstract painting. There was more information in my auction on the artist, Richard Diebenkorn, that he had been to the auction I won. I think that the extra hour of research, I spent increasing value of abstract painting.

I learned long ago that an abstract painting is worth exactly as much as someone is willing to pay for it. I have friends who can only be convinced of this fundamental truth. I think that if no one wants a particular abstract painting, then it is nothing.

My brother has used money from the sale of abstract painting not desired to find an another abstract painting. He finished with an abstract collage made by the late 1930s. I liked it when I saw it and it worked beautifully in his Office.
