Oh, that's nice. What kind of work did you buy?

I guess that's true when it's your first time.

The main difference is in the artwork.
Some paintings are on canvas, some on wooden panels, and some on paper. That's why they put them in frames to make them easier to hang.

Yes, in many cases. There are different types of frames, some with frames, and some that are just acrylic or glass frames.
If you ask the shop where you bought the work, "I want to frame this work, do you have any recommendations? I'm sure they will be able to guide you.

There are many ways to do this, such as attaching a metal bracket to the wall, or using a device called a picture rail. I don't recommend attaching it directly to the wall, as it may damage the work.

There is a way to avoid damaging the wall by using a special rubber compound, called "sticking insects", but you can learn more about it at an art supply store or home center.

Some artworks don't like humidity, so you have to be careful. Paper is particularly sensitive to humidity and is not very durable. Humidity, temperature, sunlight, and insect infestation are not limited to paper, but they are all energy sources that need to be considered when storing artworks. In general, it's better to put a wooden floor underneath and keep it out of the sun as much as possible. If it's paper, put it in a box.

Of course a warehouse is possible. But you have to check if they specialize in art. It's important to check if they specialize in art. You should also check if they have moisture and insect proofing. The rest is up to you and your wallet.

There are also restorers, people who specialize in repairing artworks. But first, you should ask the gallery where you bought the work or the artist. The artist and the gallery know the work best.

I see signs of the "collection disease. I've just bought my first one, and now I want another one. What do you want?

That's nice.

... I see.

It depends on the gallery, but in some cases it is possible. In most cases, the gallery will hold the work for you until you finish paying. Why don't you ask the gallery first?

It happens all the time, and I appreciate the feeling of "I can't pay right away. I think it's great that you can't pay right away, but you still want it. So let's ask them first.

You mean, "How do I sell my work?

There are many ways of thinking about whether it's good or bad to sell your work once you've bought it, and the answer depends on who you ask. But that doesn't mean you can't do it. It's more like, "Oh, you don't want it? I want it! It might be a good thing to put it in the hands of someone who will think, "Oh, you don't want it?

By the way, "buying and selling works that have already been bought" is called "second -hand". On the other hand, "buying directly from the artist or gallery" is called primary.

... Well, it's similar, but it's not the same as clothing or electronics.

There are many ways to do it, such as putting it up for auction, or talking to the gallery where you bought it. I think the best thing to do is to ask the gallery where you bought it.

Auctions that specialize in art are probably the best. Christie's, Sotheby's, and Phillips are the most famous, but there are also SBI Art Auction and Shinwa Auction in Japan.

That was Sotheby's New York, right? That's Sotheby's New York, the home of the real thing, like Major League Baseball.

Well, it's not that easy. The best thing to do is to ask the gallery where you bought the work. The gallery should be able to help you when you buy, keep, or sell your work.
