It's one of the biggest conundrums of the art buying experience.
Do I break the bank and spring for a hand-painted original? Or do I buy a beautiful piece that's cheaper, but less unique?
We know we're a bit biased here : ) but here's our take.
To start, why are artist originals more expensive? Is it just an overblown gimmick? Are they inherently more valuable?
The answer is, it depends what you consider value. Originals definitely have their place.
An original painting by a famous Jewish artist will really hold its value, and possibly even grow over time. So if you're looking to purchase art as an investment, an artist original is your best bet.
But if you're looking for something affordable to brighten up your drab walls, Jewish art prints definitely do the job. Check out Judaicaprints.com for some great options.
So if you're wondering if you should buy an artist original, or a Jewish art print, it really depends.
Are you looking to make an investment? Or are you looking for art to enjoy?
