"Art is in the eye of the beholder."

You don't buy it because it is a bargin. You don't buy it because it is a good investment.

You buy it because you like it. What you like and don't like will be different from others.

Park West framing was never to my liking and what I purchased (20+ pieces over ten years) were for the most part unframed. Then I worked with my local frame shop to pick something that would enhance the art plus go with my decor in the room where it was to hang.

True, they not really auctions as you could buy almost anything that they offered at the base price.

Many throw away large amounts in the casino for a thrill that lasts but a minute -- unless they are the 1/100,000 that makes it big. Others spend $5-$20 or more a day at Bingo; for every $ paid out in winnings the ship takes in ten times that amount.

I get to look at and enjoy my art purchases every day.
