Why buy art? To live better because living surrounded by art improves your daily life. This article will inform you about the importance of buying art today.
Importance of buying art
The presence of works of art at home invites reflection and delight, can provide moments of emotion, questioning, sometimes pleasure. These works of art are in a way part of us; they participate in the construction of our personality.
A work of art, offered by such and such a person on such and such an occasion, bought in such and such a context, from such and such a person, also carries a history that goes back to each glance at it. For example, I have a silk-screen print at home that I bought at an auction in Belgium years ago: every time I look at it, I remember the round trip with my wife to get it, a magical moment!
The pleasure of buying art
A work of art is not fixed but is, in a way, interactive, since it turns out to be different from day to day, depending on your mood, the people present, the context, but also the season and the light, and the time of day...
The pleasure of buying art goes of course beyond this daily relationship with the work, since the steps up to the acquisition and the act of purchase are already, sometimes, a beautiful experience: meetings, research, memorable talks.
The act of buying itself can be thrilling. Have you ever participated in an auction, at Drouot for example or even live on the Internet? I recently spent a Sunday afternoon glued to my computer, following a sale on Interencheres Live in which I had spotted several old books, and I can assure you that the sensations were there!
Finally, for a company, the purchase of art and its exhibition in its premises can represent a great vector of external communication, but also internal.
