What Type of Art Sells Best in Australia?
The amount of art for sale is
growing every year. The variety
of original art for sale indicates
how much Australians love
buying art for sale Australia wide
for investment and pure
enjoyment.
The Australian art market really
began in the 1960s as a tiny and
elite group of collectors who saw
Australian art as speculative
investment. In the 1980s
Colonial art saw a boom which
ended at the time of the 1987
stock market crash. This was
followed by the 2000s interest in
Aboriginal dot painting and
Australian late modernist
painting. Overall consumer’s
tastes have seen a rapid growth
in maturity since the early 2000s.
Different Types of Art Sell in
Different Places
Live auction sites EBay and Gray’s
Online have become a medium for
selling art for emerging and
established artists as well as
hobbyists (who can’t afford the
high fees demanded by traditional
shopfront galleries). Here you will
find art for every taste and some
artists make a reasonable income
from their own mini stores.
Outdoor markets have always been
popular in the warm Australian
climate and this is where local
artists are able to showcase works
to both residents and tourists. The
type of art that sells at markets
usually reflects the local scenery
and wildlife and is often found in the
cafes, restaurants and hotels of the
area.
A new and exciting alternative for
buying art is via an online gallery
like www.arttoart.com.au. This
type of online store allows you to
casually browse a large selection
of styles and mediums from many
different new and established
Australian artists all in the one
place. Bios of the artist enable
you to connect the piece you are
buying to the person who created
it.
With one click of the button you
can see a myriad of artworks in
your price bracket making
purchasing of art, affordable and
accessible for the first time. With
the majority of the artworks
already expertly framed, this
gallery becomes a one-stop shop
that meets all your needs.
What does it mean to be
Australian?
Art that sells best in Australia are
works that reflects what it is to be
Australian. Themes of beach,
country, inner city, lifestyle and
freedom continue to be popular.
Landscapes remain a favourite and
it’s no secret that Australia has an
affinity for the abstract and
contemporary as well.
We are familiar with famous
established names such as Russell
Drysdale, Sidney Nolan, Ken Done,
Norman Lindsey, and Albert
Namatjira. At one time, notably
during the 60’s to 80’s copies of
their paintings could be found in
most Australians homes.
Today’s art appreciator prefers to
visit our National Art Galleries to see
the actual pieces rather than
purchase a cheaper copy which
never really captures the essence of
the original. The trend in buying
original art for sale Australia wide
for enjoyment and for investment is
a consumer pattern that is here to
stay.
The breadth of talent of modern
Australian artists is staggering and
their art for sale pieces are very
accessible. Australian Artists with
original art for sale currently causing
interest include Dean Bowen,
Carollyn O’Neil, Minnie Pwerle,
Gabrielle Jones, Kudditji
Kngwarreye and Saren Dobkins.
You are sure to discover the perfect
pieces amongst these diverse
works.
