Talk about a painting coming to life! One of the positive effects of the recession I see is that people are now making considered choices when they buy art. They ask themselves such questions as: Is it a good example by the artist?

What is the condition? Will I need to spend money getting it reframed? Where will it hang? Will my partner like it? Indiscriminate spending rarely pays. For investors I would say, think long term; buy the best you can afford instead of mediocre examples by several artists. Buying pictures, particularly at auction, is a fantastic experience.

Paintings and prints dominate on our walls, but I would love to start learning more about — and buying — furniture at some point.

I enjoy the thrill of the hammer falling on a successful bid or the long wait for an exhibition to end so I can collect the picture that has lingered in my mind.
