At the Lyons Gallery, we firmly believe that every acquisition should be a marriage of aesthetic appreciation and wise investment. So we decided to put together the ultimate guide in understanding the art market and how to evaluate a good investment.

At the Lyons Gallery we help both the novice and expert collectors navigate the ever-shifting landscape of the global art market and expose all its various platforms that make up the art world. Within this guide, we will advise what type of artwork you are purchasing and where it sits within the eyes of the art market and the collectors who invest. 

The art market’s global value now totals $3 trillion, and since it’s untethered to the stock market, art is an excellent way to diversify your investment portfolio.

In this article, we’ll highlight five of the fastest growing photographers in our gallery that you should watch out for.

If you're starting your investment journey, it may be prudent to note that having more than one investment option is a wiser choice. A good investment option and a high-value alternative worth considering are artworks and original art prints.

Art investment is chic and it's common practice in the celebrity world. Well-known singers, actors, and even members of royalty have invested in art ranging from paintings to sculpture to photography.

For many people who invest frequently, searching for alternative investment options is the next best step. Many will eventually find their way to the art market. Art investment is an age-old activity that is enjoyed by the wealthiest, the most exclusive, and the most discerning art collectors.
