Why ? What’s the reason to get  paintings?
General criteria.

Here is typical situations -
It has a point to buy inexpensive picture as a gift, never mind who is an author, the main core it should be "a beauty".
Usually it needs a realistic painting or graphic - landscape, still life, portrait.
Dimension – nor longer 70 cm by greater side. The prices for oil or acrylic picture around 100-300 Euro. For graphical images (watercolor, drawing) - 50 - 150 Euro.
Also is possible to take abstraction or stylization, but the price aproximately the same.

There are many services for such criteria – salons and on-line galleries on the internet.
This goods is identified as the "mass consumption" .You must be ready to understand that the picture you buying, already exists  around 100-200 copies, may be more, and it’s never end!

The Signs   are meaning

Buying the WORKS OF ART    
   

If honesty, fixed or strictly indexed prices for works of art does not exist.
There is three main criterions, on which distinguish the Art from "no Art".

Firstly – it is always something exceptional and outstanding.
Secondly - artist reaches high effective results after long searching for his own aesthetic, and methods of to express it. So, every talented artist produced several pictures, and in result it looks like - series, cycles.
In third – common of creative process the artists belong their personal discriminating manner, handwriting, which select him from the total flow, mainstream.

Well, draw a conclusion.
Collect the Art Works is the BUSINESS - the contribution of money.
We rephrase a well-known thesis "Art Requires the Victims", (probably from artist?). But the 'victims’ demand to pay - the Art costs the money!
