DrV's rules of art:
If you hold art and creativity as a value, then put your money where your mouth is and buy real art: support the artists who create art and the vendors who support the "life cycle of art"—create, purchase, enjoy, resell.
Always try to buy real art, not copies, and not fakes.
Criteria for buying art:
Buy the art that you like, that you decide is beautiful and inspiring.
Buy the art that you can (comfortably-reasonably) afford.
Buy art that has meaning for you, your life, and the future that you want to live into. Don't buy art simply because it is "good" but because it has specific and special meaning for you personally.
