You’ve heard of Blue Chip Stocks, but are you familiar with Blue Chip Art? This term was inspired by the stock market and refers to any art that’s expected to increase in value, regardless of the general economic conditions.
This is not about how important the art is to a collector, museum or its place in history. It only refers to one thing and that is its resale value.
Blue Chip artists are masters whose art’s value has had consistent years of sales that have been confirmed at auction. The Artprice100 is an index that lists the 100 top performing artists at auction within the last 5 years. Some of the artists and their rankings for 2017 are: 1.Picasso, 16.Calder, 19.Miro, 23.Chagall, 52.Daliand 82.Buffet. This list is compiled once a year and can fluctuate depending on the art market. According to the Artprice’s Global Index, the average value of art has increased by 30% over the last 20 years.
The major reason to collect art is for the personal enjoyment of it. Still, it’s impossible to ignore the possibility of the potential return.

Humans are infamously known as creatures of habit, especially in our dwellings. But sometimes it’s healthy for us to change things up once in a while. An easy way to do that is to try new kinds of art.
Whether you’re an art history buff or a casual art observer, you probably heard of the term “contemporary” at least once in your life. It’s a word that often invokes a sense of the modern life we live in and the future moving forward.
Contemporary art is more than art made in the modern day. It’s art that moves, lives and breathes beyond the way it’s “always been done before.” This art genre may be broad, but it’s not deja vu.
