How To Collect Art & Become A Successful Artist | Why Investing In Art Is A Terrible Idea

Описание: Magnus is back with a master class on how to buy art.

In Episode #506 of 'Meanderings', Juan and I discuss: the big blank wall behind us, how to choose something meaningful for your home, Magnus Resch’s books 'How To Become A Successful Artist' and 'How to Collect Art', why branding and networking matter in the art world, why most buyers should treat art as a sunk cost and purchase only what they truly love, practical buying tips (galleries, fairs, auctions, pricing signals), comparing art collecting with car collecting, digital art and NFTs as a way to prove ownership and enable utility and reflect on building personal connection to pieces and artists.

No support for this week, so the Chux Cloth beanie stays off.
