Just back from the @londonoriginalprintfair and I’ve been thinking about why a print should be the first serious purchase for new art collectors.

Just back from the @londonoriginalprintfair and I’ve been thinking about why a print should be the first serious purchase for new art collectors.

Just back from the @londonoriginalprintfair and I’ve been thinking about why a print should be the first serious purchase for new art collectors.

There’s the confidence of being able to research what you’re buying. There’s the liquidity of a real secondary market. But the part I keep coming back to is legacy.

A well-chosen print by the right artist isn’t just something on your wall. It’s a store of wealth. Something that holds its value, grows with you and becomes part of what you pass down to your children and grandchildren. Art with a paper trail and a future.

What was your first serious art purchase or what’s stopping you from making it? 🖼️
