For many in their twenties, art collecting can seem like a far-off pipe dream. But the art market isn't all $450 million Leonardo da Vinci paintings and snooty evening auctions. Many in the industry are taking steps to lower barriers and bring in newer collectors, including young people.
A collection doesn't have to start with a da Vinci. For example, young collectors can support artists who are just getting started themselves. Buying the work of an emerging, or even unknown, artist isn't about bringing home a $450 million trophy for your wall.
So the next time you see a work that you like and it fits your budget, go for it! Owning a unique creation from the hand of an artist is something you'll enjoy for a lifetime.
