 Socrates once said a man without art in his home, is a man without soul.

Art it is strictly an a emotional purchase, as someone who sells art for a living .You have to know your clients.Buying art is personal .I tell my clients, it is like falling in love for the first time .You know your in love, you know that you want this person,their is no reasonable explanation why. Love at first sight it's unexplainable. But it is real.
Art is very similar ,you see a painting or a sculpture and it moves you ,you gaze at it, stirs an emotion within.You may even fall in love with it .Do you buy it, well most people walk away.There are many reasons why, one is  price,another justification. The kids school,car payments the new shoes.I have even heard the excuse" what would I do with it".We get scared just like the guy who fantasizes about his neighbor or co worker but still never asks her for a number or a date.
When buying a great piece of art  their are three rules ,you have to love it ,it should be within your means and third most important again "you have to love it". I hear sales consultants ask do you have a place for it .Ok good question but 90% of the time, if they love it and can afford it they will find a place for it .
Justifying selling art: You love it, you can afford it but what is stopping you from putting the piece in your home. First of all you will hear every excuse in the book .First I tell my clients,,art will not get you to work in the morning,it will not cook you your breakfast and it will not jump up and down when you come home.
Art is strictly a piece of beauty that is frozen in time .Art moves you like music ,it touches deep like a past love, an unforgotten memory.When you look at a great piece of art ,you fall in love ,you wonder how the artist read your thoughts. How does the artist know what I am feeling . This is called being connected to the art.
Art is a visual stimulation, one of the strongest senses we have,Why deny yourself this feeling, But people do,they do not allow themselves to feel good .In this day and age you would think we would gravitate to anything healthy to make us feel good ,The smart ones do, they surround themselves with positive and beautiful things that won't break the bank.
I love when I bring a piece of art to a client that has an average car ,average house and some of the most incredible art I have ever seen .Just like Socrates stated your home is a sanctuary.Why not surround yourself with beauty.

One of the reasons I decided to open my  own gallery "Bellagio International Gallery" was to have the opportunity to work with numerous artist .Where in the past I had worked with one artist that owned numerous galleries. Also to bring in different styles of art to give customers a variety of medium's and techniques to learn and experience all the different forms of art and artists from around the world.
We have such a variety of talent, major superstars and up and coming stars that are taking the art world by storm.  We have a brilliant new artist from Quebec City .We  also have some phenomenal veterans from, San Francisco, L.A. , New York , Argentina and even Russia
While selling art in Las Vegas I felt a little confined  working with one artist. I wanted customers to be able to walk into a gallery and experience all forms of art .Give them a variety of choices to choose from. We all know every one's tastes differ .That's what was so exciting, to pull a variety of artist in one gallery. But keeping in mind not to make the gallery to overwhelming.
Again art does compete with art ,but a nice variety of completely different style's and mediums makes for a nice selection.Which has made for a very successful galley.
I love seeing new and young artist become a success ,the reason why is the art business is very hard to succeed in.So when a new artist starts to take off, it usually means he or she is doing something new and different. Do not be afraid to buy from a gallery with a new artist, if you like their work. It is very difficult to have your work placed in galleries.
So the gallery has a good reason to put up the work,they believe in the artist.
