Product Description
Buying original works of art—whether an oil painting, watercolor, print, photograph, or piece of sculpture—is no longer the preserve of the wealthy. In fact, many people are now turning to art as an alternative to investing in stocks, shares, and property. Find out how to make an informed purchase, when and where are good places to buy and sell (not always the same) including the Internet and the ever-popular eBay; and how to find out if that filthy oil painting you’ve picked up in the local junk shop should be cleaned and whether it’s worth anything—and the tax implications if it is. All the visual arts are covered, with information on how to research an artist, provenance, and a subject—all of which can affect value. Above all, you’ll learn how to build a coherent collection and how to pick pieces that you can enjoy and will stand the test of time, too.

Art enthusiasts and lovers of American art have long considered collecting art a hobby reserved solely for the wealthy. "Collecting African American Art: Works on Paper and Canvas" (Revised Second Edition) effectively dispels this misconception. In these pages, lavishly illustrated with almost two hundred works by a wide range of artists, readers will find practical guidelines for becoming an informed colector, including specific criteria for working with dealers. By providing succinct advice on framing, insurance, and tax and estate planning, as well as pointers on how to care for one's collection, author Halima Taha makes collecting an enjoyable-and affordable-pastime for everyone. Combining a rich and diverse blend of aesthetic traditions from Africa, the Caribbean, and the United States, African American art has emerged as the most actively collected art in the marketplace. This guide presents both new and established artists and identifies dealers throughout the nation specializing in the field. Insightful and accessible, it is the first book to define the role of the collector of African American art. The result is a unique and essential guide to developing a meaningful and rewarding collection.

Product Description
Brothers Sterling and Stephen Clark—heirs to the Singer sewing machine fortune—were among the twentieth century’s most influential art collectors. This volume examines their magnificent collections, their personal lives and public profiles, and their significant roles in the history of American museums.
While the brothers shared a love for great art, they collected in different ways. Sterling was a private collector; his French Impressionist masterpieces, including thirty-eight Renoirs, and works by such American artists as Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, Frederic Remington, and Mary Cassatt now form the distinguished collection of the Clark. Stephen, a businessman and museum trustee, acquired modern works by such masters as Georges Seurat, Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Vincent van Gogh, often with specific museum collections in mind—including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Yale University Art Gallery.
Handsomely produced, this book features over two hundred illustrations of the works from Sterling’s and Stephen’s collections. It also includes essays by distinguished scholars, an illustrated chronology, and a previously unpublished checklist of works purchased by Stephen Clark.
