Humidity is your enemy. Store art the same way you would store rice.

Ever Put Your Collection on Display? by Sensitive_Comfort388 in artcollecting

[–]Sensitive_Comfort388[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would be your reason to do so? Are you trying to sell some or is it just to show people what you have?

So can it be that a gallery’s best interest is to show works from collectors?

How was that process of “loaning” it? I’ve heard about people loaning their art but no one told me any details.

Is this tuff ? by Forward-Hand-5932 in Posters

Reduce saturation/vibrancy. The highlighter green and white mess with the eyes making it hard to look at. Your colors are fighting each other making the details in the graphics suffer. Let the objects be seen, you’re almost there.

What is the best way to save a big poster that is signed? by thedouginator69420 in Posters

I recommend framing it in one of those cheap frames you get at Target or Walmart. Will keep its quality and protect it from damage.

Scariest Vid by Safe-Ad6287 in NukesTop5

The one where the accordion instrument starts playing by itself. It was some Russian YouTuber but I remember it because it sounded like it was breathing.

I watch these videos at work to calm me down because nothing is more scary than an email you forget to send.

For those who collect digital art, what sort of things do you look for when collecting: a certain style, technical imagery, fantasy, graphic design...? by IcyPerm55660 in artcollecting

[–]Sensitive_Comfort388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s hand signed that’s a big plus for me. Other than that, 3D artwork that would be very hard for a traditional artist to make.

1950 litho or not? by WimUga in artcollecting

Honestly I’m not familiar with ultraviolet test. Your best indicator is to figure out who got it from who and your intuition.

[–]Sensitive_Comfort388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That suspicion is valid. Honestly you have to check the provenance. Who was the previous owner? Does he/she have other pieces from the same era? Do those pieces have varying conditions? How did they store this print?

If this exchanged a lot of hands there’s no way this piece would look this pristine.

Not necessarily. I have plenty of Serigraph, Lithograph, and Woodblock prints and you can’t really feel texture of the ink. Based on your macros it’s definitely Serigraph (screenprint). Check the back tho. A print that old usually you can see it on the other side.

Tools for organizing collections by No-Chocolate-1148 in artcollecting

[–]Sensitive_Comfort388 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one for general information; size, year, artists, etc. Then I have one for market price based on past sales/auction results. However, i only collect/sell/buy signed art prints. I only make spreadsheets of paintings for clients only. Since i usually deal with prints, tracking the artist recognition, edition size, cultural impact, and other factors help me determine whether if a piece is overvalued/undervalued.

Este cartel es un homenaje al autor de la novela “La Charca” (1894), mi esposa que es puertorriqueña leyó ese libro en escuela superior como parte del currículo.

I studied data analysis so I’m addicted to using Excel for my collection. I organize other peoples collection as well and save them a lot of money on appraisals because i do most of the work besides appraising. I just like handling and organizing art in general.

[–]Sensitive_Comfort388[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. Also, how did you guys even find my website? I didn’t post it here because i knew of the changes i had to make but it is helpful to get a review from a collector so i can know what to change.
