Techniques and directions
Common are oil paint and acrylic paint, in styles such as abstract as well as in classical directions. Oil on canvas is popular too, since it joins depth with durability. Depending on technique, the spectrum runs from monochrome planes to dense groups of figures.
Care before buying
For works at this price band, proof of authenticity, year of creation, dimensions and a condition report are basics. Plan transport by art shipper, insurance and professional hanging right away. A lighting plan with directed spotlights that give off no UV protects the work and shows it to best advantage.
