Henry On Pop Art

What artists are we going to collect?

As an art dealer, I am often asked what artists are people collecting. This is a hard question to ask because there are so may types and price points of art available. 

I see younger people interested in Street Art/Graffiti Art. They like Mr. Brainwash, Banksy, and Basquiat plus many many more!  They are also still interested in the Pop Art masters like Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. Their work is still speaking to people long after their deaths. Given the greater availability of Street Art, I can only guess what the long term values will do. Like most art, I'm sure the best works by the best artists will continue to be collectible.

Street Art! Basquiat, Mr. Brainwash and now Louis Carreon!!!

 

Street art is a hot seller, especially among younger buyers who are drawn to the bright colors and fluid subject matter. Basquiat's work is from the 1980's and todays artists are producing their versions that are becoming more and more popular.
