Thinking about your first urban or contemporary art purchase?
Here’s a straightforward checklist to help you buy art with confidence.
1) Look at materials and technique — ask what the work is made from and how it was made; that tells you about durability and care.
2) Check edition size and signatures — smaller editions and artist-signed pieces usually hold value better.
3) Confirm provenance and condition — a clear history and condition report reduce risk.
We vet every artist at The Connor Contemporary through visits, portfolio review and sales history, and we reinvest gallery proceeds into outreach and accessibility so your purchase supports the local art community.
