· 60 or more galleries--- This is a highly established

artist whose values are stable across the board. There

is a lot of competition at this stage for the artist's

work, but these artworks can be somewhat like money

in the bank because they really are worth what you

pay for them.

If the artist is in 100 or more galleries consider this

like climbing Mt. Everest... twice! A representation in this

many galleries means a very large collector base feels this

artist's message and expressions are of importance and

should be unconditionally shared with others. This builds

heavily towards future values of your investment in the

artist's work. However, you will find these works to be quite

pricey; galleries will be stretched much too thin to have

originals readily available, and you should easily expect

to pay a premium for owning one of these pieces.
