Make a fine acquisition

Acquiring 20th century paintings and prints does not have to be an intimidating venture. We wholeheartedly believe that collecting investment quality vintage fine art can and should be an enjoyable and financially rewarding venture. We also understand that investing in a painting, print or other work of art is not always an easy thing to do and can sometimes be quite stressful.

One should delve into the history and background of the artist and ask as many questions as needed to satisfy your expectations concerning a particular 20th century artwork. Over time, you'll learn to trust your 'gut instincts' when making a decision on whether or not to acquire that captivating painting or hand-pulled print.

The fine art market can be capricious and unpredictable. But, by incorporating a certain amount of research, insight and passion, you'll quickly train your eye to focus on quality, composition and character. Soon, you'll become intuitively drawn towards works that you perceive as having exemplary qualities and sound value.

Consider making an investment in the rich heritage of Canadian 20th century paintings and hand-pulled prints... many of these works are now proving to be worthy 'fine art assets' and could continue to do so well into the future.
