The underlying premise of this book is that prices of works of art can be charted in a way comparable to that used for tracking changes in the prices of shares, the yields on bonds, and other financial measures.
Art can also be an investment for future
retirement or a wealth-building strategy for generations to come. This
book has endeavoured to show how art can be purchased and how to
follow the rules when purchasing art so that the investment does not
run afoul of tax requirements and fund requirements.
We have also discussed the vital and changing nature of Australian
aboriginal art, and how best to determine the potential future value
of such work. Contemporary Australian Aboriginal work is a vibrant addition to global art markets, one that not only has a strong aesthetic quality and lucrative financial return, but also holds a strong sense of Australian national history.
