Buying Art in Barletta: Where to Look, What to Ask, What It Costs

Il Colosso e la Disfida: arte monumentale nella città dei cavalieri

Buying art in Barletta: look first

The cheapest way to avoid a bad purchase is to look a great deal before making one. In Barletta the public collections to start from are Pinacoteca Giuseppe De Nittis, Castello Svevo di Barletta: that is where you learn which techniques, formats and colours actually hold your eye, before you take one home. The page on where to see art in Barletta puts them in order, and art in Puglia widens the view to the region's other cities.

Three channels, three logics

  • Private gallery: you see the work in person and talk to the person selling it. The price is not always displayed; asking is normal and commits you to nothing.
  • Fairs and art-academy shows: many artists in little time and generally lower prices, but also little time to decide.
  • Online: you can compare technique, format and price at leisure. In exchange you see the work only in photographs, so the written details and the right to return it matter.

What to ask before you pay

The questions are the same everywhere: what technique, on what support; unique piece or edition, and of how many; signed, and where; is there a certificate; what actually arrives, framed or unframed; can it be returned. The guide to authenticity and signatures explains what should be written down, and where.
