This year’s Print Art Fair @ifpda did not disap This year’s Print Art  Fair @ifpda did not disappoint. Long overlooked, printmaking is finally having its moment. While printmaking is an artistic process based on traditional printmaking techniques, more and more contemporary artists are innovating with the medium, pushing the boundaries of traditional printmaking techniques and creating one of kind pieces. It is not rare to see unique works or very small edition prints. According to #artsy printmaking is “experiencing a period of robust sales and creative growth”. Collectors take notice! 
Here are a few of favorites from last week @ifpda

Thursday is my day! It is the day I head to Chelse Thursday is my day! It is the day I head to Chelsea, Tribeca or the Lower East Side to see art. Sometimes I go with a client, on occasions with a small group for a tour but most of the time I go alone. While I spend hours in front of my computer each week, looking at art, previewing shows, doing research and working on proposals for clients; I need that one day to see art in person, explore and just look. This is how I get my inspiration, what keeps me going as an art advisor, the reason I do what I do! I am rarely disappointed and always learn something new, about artists, galleries, and trends in the art market. Here are a few favorites from last week’s visit: #mayalin #pacegallerynyc

Why do people collect art? That is the question! Why do people collect art? That is the question! 
What makes people tick? Is there one single factor that motivates people to collect and buy art? 
According to Artsy’s recent Art Collector Insights report, people’s first motivation is to collect art, decorating their home come close second.
But the most telling finding of this report is that the majority (52%) of people who buy art want to support artists. This is especially telling of how the next generation of collectors buy art. They are looking to celebrate and support the career and creative expression of artists with whom they have a connection and share values. 
Not surprisingly, collectors are also looking to buy art that inspires them. They want to feel stimulated intellectually and visually. This is an equally important factor for them.
Art as an investment comes in last and is not the primary motivator for the majority of art collectors. 
In my experience as an art advisor, the majority of people come to me to buy art for their home. They are looking to buy works of art that will inspire them and retain their value over time. As people mature as collectors they look at supporting artists and the return on investment.
What is it for you?

Time to hit the art fair circuit again. As an art Time to hit the art fair circuit again. As an art advisor, the next art fair is never far around the corner. In fact, my life is punctuated by the rhythm of fairs. For me it is Paris in October, Miami in December, Mexico or Los Angeles in February and New York in May. The month of May is jammed packed with fairs in NY, starting with TEFAF and the Independent Art Fair next week, followed by NADA and Frieze the following week. Don’t miss on these many opportunities to see art in person and find that artwork you have always been looking for. Let’s talk. I am here to help, advise you and guide your choice. Art fairs are definitely the fun part of my job!
