Art Collecting Tip:
If you are confused on what to buy as far as original art, you need to choose a piece that "speaks to you"and that you will enjoy viewing and displaying for years to come. Some collectors choose to collect art from emerging artists that are growing in popularity within their community. Chances are those art pieces will go up in value as the artist continues to grow in his/her art career or become utterly famous in another career.
Other avid art collectors choose work from artists that are already well established within their community
and art world. For those be ready to fork out a pretty penny...but sure to be valued higher in the future. I would recommend that these higher end pieces come with a certificate of authenticity and get it insured.
As an artist, and art collector myself, I have also started collecting art from local artists according to my budget and ultimately my personal desire to own a particular art piece. I have mostly purchased pieces from artists I personally know and that live in my community. But that's just me.

I recently read a really interesting art collecting article in the "Private Clubs" April 2007 edition. This article talks about art collecting as investment assets that appreciate in value over time. Thought that was a twist to art collecting. I guess it would be like buying the prime piece of property that will definitely go up in value or that you hope goes up in price.
But ultimately art collection should be driven by a passion one holds for the arts.
If you have been thinking about developing a collection here are great "How-to articles" that will help you in your decision-making.http://www.artadvice.com/advice/article16.php
