Affordable Art from Red Rag Gallery

Affordable art is a term used in many ways across the market for British Art . The actual definition and perception of affordable art is very subjective. What is affordable art varies in definition from one British art buyer to another set of British art buyers. So understandably affordable art for one art collector can be unaffordable art for another art lover. Typically the general stance on what constitutes affordable art is paintings and Limited Edition Prints from £250 up to £4000.

For many the top of the affordable art range (£4000) is too much. Red Rag Gallery therefore seeks to offer a wider choice of value for money British art prices. It is always possible to find Limited Edition Prints at the lower end of the Affordable Art range. The gallery also promoted affordable art from British Artists with prices starting from around £250. In addition many other British Art Galleries also cater for art buyers on a budget by offering paintings and sculptures at more affordable prices.

Some buyers look for affordable art outside of the British Art Galleries market at graduate art shows. Each year the British Art Colleges stage art exhibitions for final year art students. Much of the art in the shows can be bought.

Buying art from students at the start of their career should be very affordable art. However, this is not always the case with some students having unrealistic selling prices. Also the quality of art displayed at the art college shows is varied, which means buying art from graduate shows is not always the best Art Investment. Most art graduates do not become household names, so if you are concerned about future art values buying affordable art from more established British artists is a less risky investment.

When looking at affordability and prices it is important to remember that just because a particular piece of British art is affordable it does not necessarily make it value for money. For many art lovers buying British art is a luxury and for the long term. When buying art it is a good idea to carefully consider if you will still enjoy the art in 10 years time. If the answer is yes then the art piece should hopefully be both value for money and affordable art.
