"  THE MAN WHO BUYS ART AS AN INVESTMENT USUALLY PURCHASES WITH THE SAME LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AS THE AMATEUR DABBLER ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE

HE CANNOT ANTICIPATE THE MARKET OR FEEL FUTURE TRENDS....


ON THE OTHER HAND 

THE MAN WHO BUYS FOR PLEASURE IS IN THE AGREEABLE POSITION OF HAVING BUT LITTLE TO LOSE 

WHATEVER ELSE OCCURS TO THE MARKET 

HE HAS HAD THE MOMENT OF RAPTUROUS POSSESSION - 

BUT OFTEN THE PARADOX OCCURS ANND THE BOLDNESS OF PERSONAL ENTHUSIASM LEAPS AHEAD OF THE PUBLIC TASTE ----INTO TO THE FIELD OF FUTURE VALUES. 


OFTEN THE YOUTHFUL FOLLIES OF THE ENTHUSIAST -TURN INTO GOLD 

WHILE THE SENSIBLE INVESTMENT BECOMES AN OLD FASHION ARTISTIC RELIC ..

IN MY 50 YEARS OF REPRESENTING SMALL CRAFTERS THIS WEAVES OUT  OVER AND OVER ---AGAIN .
