What motivates art collectors to buy art?
If an art collector understands only ‘what’ art is, he/she may be ok with the idea of having artworks hidden away in private storage rooms where the art is nowhere to be seen. Whereas if an art collector is aware of ‘when’ art is, he /she fully understands that art is truly art not for what it is, but when it is out there to be experienced, looked at, and praised as a generator of thoughts, emotions and feelings.
Why to own a piece of Art? Meaning, attachment, heritage, personality, and lifestyle
Knowing the background behind each work of art in a collector’s collection is half the fun. When guests come over, art collectors take pride in walking them through the story behind each of their pieces. Whether it’s talking about the symbolism in the artwork, the artist’s background or how they found the art itself, collectors love sharing their heart and passion with others.
