An
Impasse
Sooner or later, virtually everyone needs to downsize their
collection - marriage, illness, divorce, financial reversals, moving to
a smaller house, changing tastes, and other life changes. Yet, collectors
are astonished to learn that galleries can't take pieces back for resale!
Buyers don't realize that artists don't allow galleries to take back former pieces. Artists refuse to compete against earlier work hanging on the same wall as their current work, especially when they don't earn anything. A gallery that took back earlier works would see their top artists defect to the competition, a classic Catch 22.
Northern Light Art and Antiques aims to remedy this impasse by devoting a portion of its space to Encore!, a confidential service that resells top-flight arists from the Rocky Mountain West, along with select European painters. Owners can turnover their assets, and new collectors have a chance to see them in a good light.
Special emphasis is on earlier works. One reason is that appreciation in current prices makes it more likely that collectors will recover their original investment, and perhaps more. Another reason is that new collectors seldom have a chance to acquire earlier works of their favorite artist, making it a win-win situation.
Sales price is based on Fair Market Valuet. Consignors are paid an agreed net price. The "house" makes its profit on the margin in-between. Any discounts come off the "house" side. Thus, consignors are assured their net price.
The Artists
PAINTERS
Regional painters (Montana to New Mexico) will be the focus of Encore!.
Select European artists will also be shown.
The following list includes many, but not all, of these top-tier regional painters. (Many have links to their own web sites, or galleries that represent their current work.)
