Buying art in Forlì: look first

The cheapest way to avoid a bad purchase is to look a great deal before making one. In Forlì the public collections to start from are Musei San Domenico, Pinacoteca Civica di Forlì: 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 Forlì puts them in order, and art in Emilia-Romagna 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.
