Million dollar what if question

[BlueJ]

What if you had...lets say 4 million dollars.
Would you buy your favorite artist work if it cost one million dollars. I mean something you really, really...realllly admire.
It can be a painting, a sculptur, or what ever! But would you do it or not and why.
Personally I would.

Probably not. IMO, a million dollars is way too much for art no matter how much I admire it or much money I have.

I feel the same as CarrieAg93! I would appreciate art better if it were a little more affordable. I may go up to $10,000 or $20,000 for a really good piece, an artist on their way up the scale.

However, I'm too much of a cheapskate and would try to do an artwork of my own first.

What if it was like, Michaelangelo's (sp?) King David ? Or some other incredible work like that ? (im sure that is highly collectible...) If I could be guarunteed of its appreciation, of course I would. And the situation would really make a difference too (I like most robert bateman paintings more than the mona lisa, but I'd buy the mona lisa for a million long before I bought any of his paintings for a million. This would be assuming I could get ANY work of art that I want for a million dollars. If I was not allowed to sell it, and I only had four million to start with, and could not charge people admission to see it, then no. I would not buy a work of art for a million dollars. I would put that four million to work, and once it had grown to many times its original size, THEN I might use a fraction of that money (one million) to buy a work of art that would make me money (either through appreciation or admission fees).

I'd purchase these clocks I want. I can't show a pic of them but were talking unique and antique.That's what I would spend it on.

 

[beehoney]

Naah. I wouldn't spend that much.

Michelangelo, Rapheal,Romare Bearden, Padlo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh and my favorit Edward Munch painting are worth much more than 1 mill. So if you can buy something for 1 mill that worth a lot more and I mean a lot well... the one alternatve is to buy the painting and sell it times what ever you can get it for or feep it for pleasure.
Like I said anything art for a 1million even if it worth 6 million.
Im thinking egyptian arts and artifacts.
