buying art

(forgive me if there was another thread on this, art has too few letters to search with)

Just wondering if anyone buys art, what kind, where you buy it and how much you have spent for a piece?

I bought 5 8 x 10's matted photographs, black and white, at a fairly large art show this weekend. The photos themselves are small, about 3 x 3. Two are of Venice, one is of a collection of gondolas and a deck and the other of Venice city canals sans boats. Two are of Paris, one is the lit up Eiffel Tower at night, the other of three chairs left randomly in a park, which I understand is common there. Finally, one of England's Big Ben. I ended up spending just over $100, but still need to find frames. I got to meet the photog who talked about when he took the shots. His larger photos were about $250.

At the show, I saw amazing works - but they were all fairly expensive for me - who is trying to pay off credit card debt. But I looked at the purchase as an investment for when I get my place of my own, again, after this grad school thing.

What makes you buy art?
