Fine Art Photography, a good investment

Castle Reflection, edition of 15, available at Rolly-Michaux Galleries

Fine Art Photographs are a great investment within the current art world. While it is imperative that art collectors first acquire works that they love, there is always the consideration of rising value. That is, is the acquisition of work a good investment?

We have long since passed the point where photography was debated as to its position within the fine art world. This is now an established fact, with all of the museums of the world now holding extensive photographic collections. For example, Alfred Stieglitz, one of the founding fathers, if not the father of art photography, donated an extensive collection of his work to the Museum of Fine Arts of Boston. This step, along with his continued championing of art photography guaranteed its existence within the walls of established museums and galleries.

Therefore the value of photographs is something for the new or serious investor to consider. While the market is a bull one, the investor can still find images affordable. For this reason it is wise to consider at this time the acquisition of fine art photographs.
