discriminating art buyers Herald Special As Christmas approaches you may be considering buying something special something artistic to decorate your home or give as a gift Learn to be a discriminating buyer To begin with the best rule of thumb to follow Is If at all possible buy an original work of art Not only will you have one of a kind but if you buy from someone whose business looks as if It may grow It Is a good Investment In the case of a print be very particular when purchasing An print is one that has been designed set up inked and run off by the artist On the other hand a copy or reproduc tion of a painting off commer dally In each case certain points should be checked When buying an original print or reproduction make sure that It Is not an artists proof these are the Initial test pieces that are run through the press to make sure that further prints will be good Check to see that the Ink is evenly distributed that enough ink has been used and that tbe use of too much Ink t caused smudging Variations In price between early and late printings of the same plate can be great because tbe plates wear down rapidly Early printings have the richest blacks and tbe strongest tonsil There should also be a space border around the print to separate It from front In the case of reproductions your best bet is to see the original painting Ask yourself the following questions Are there any changes in character or distortions from the original work Are the colours rich In tone or faded la the reproduction the same size as the original work Is the colour true I heard recently of one reproduction that In the Vancouver copies one section of It was blue but in he Halifax copies the same section was With both original prints and reproductions check that they are limited editions the fewer run off the better Many a painting by the Group of Seven painters or Van Gogh or Da Vinci have lost their charm and uniqueness after being seen in every bank and waiting room Also check the signature of the artist I recently saw a reproduction of a painting by a very well known artist that had been signed in BUch a hurry that a letter had been left out of last name thus reducing the value of tbe work This can easily happen when several hundred or even thousands of reproductions are being signed But remember when purchasing one it Is the signature for which you are paying not the original painting Direct contact with the actual artist of the work Is usually the best bet with the least amount of handling and wholesaling producing the best guarantee of authenticity and often the lowest price then a reputable established dealer is the next best thing In the long run It is worth it to save up and buy an original work of art I ARTISTIC NOTES House Sol
