DONT EVEN TRY TO DO THAT!!!
ARTISTS PRICES GO UP AND DOWN BUT MASTERPIECES GENERALLY GO UP AND UP AND UP IN VALUE. THUS WE ADVISE TO LOOK WELL INTO WHO IS SELLING BEST AND FOR WHAT AND WHY IS THAT. THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE ART ACQUIRES EXTRA VALUE DEPENDING ON ITS HISTORY, ALL ITS HISTORY BE THAT:
WHO HAVE HAD THE WORK?
HISTORY OF EXHIBITIONS AND LITERATURE IT MIGHT HAVE?
WHEN WAS IT PAINTED?
WHAT STYLE IS IT PAINTED IN?
WHAT SIZE IS IT?
WHOSE NATION DOES THE WORK BELONG TO?
WHEN YOU PUT ALL THESE FACTS TOGETHER YOU MIGHT FIND SOME ANSWERS IN THE PRICES IN ARTISTS SUCH AS PICASSO, MATISSE, ROTHKO, HACKNEY, BACON AND MANY OTHERS.
IF YOU ASK WHO IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE ARTIST THIS YEAR, YOU WILL FIND OUT THAT NEXT YEAR IS DIFFERENT AND THE YEAR BEFORE DIFFERENT AGAIN. THEREFORE, PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR LIKING IS NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT IS, BE THAT A FEW POUNDS, A FEW THOUSAND POUNDS OR MILLIONS. REMEMBER, YOU MUST BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH THE WORK OF ART AND ENJOY IT!!
