Is it covered by your insurance company? This article will give you some tips on how to become a wise art purchaser.Documentation from the Gallery to be SecuredDocumentation can weight marketability and importance. You should gather any documentation about the piece, such as certificates of authenticity, bill of sale or any other receipts, copies of publications and where the art was mentioned. You must keep documents well because all these can have some historical and commercial value some day. Also make sure that you have secured a copy of instructions on how to take good care and proper handling of the art. Check out who is the artist. Find his gallery listings, exhibit catalogs, and any reviews on the artist\'s accomplishments. If possible consider the artist\'s place of work, training credentials, residence, titles and the places where the artist\'s work has been exhibited, how long does he exhibits and sells art? Secure signed photographs of the artist and artist\'s resume and information.Transporting and Shipping Artworks HomeTransporting your artworks home, you are first and foremost concerned for their safety.
