       Learn the history behind the piece of art
Many of the works cannot be evaluated at a glance and it is essential to know the author, historical context, and an art school behind any product. If you have no time for specialized courses, you can always use the services of an art consultant or an employee of the gallery.
The art has its own system of ratings. Therefore, the price of an item is determined by the combination of such factors as popularity, skill, talent and creativity.

 Listen to professionals’ opinion – but do what your heart tells you
 One collector, considering a picture at the fair, said: "I will be able to understand whether to buy this work for my collection only tomorrow – if I wake up the next morning and I will still remember about it".

 
Determine your budget
The price of a student’s work is typically less than $ 1,000 and a small graphic works will cost you even less - 10-20 dollars. The prices usually depend on: the cost of materials (especially if it is a sculpture or installation – they are some of the most expensive art forms), the time spent on creating the piece and self-assessment of the author.

Choose the right art form
Price gradation depends on the technique used to create a particular work of art. The most affordable art forms (that beginning collectors usually start with) are circulation graphics, photography and just graphics. They are followed by painting, sculpture and installation.
The most popular kinds of art are photography and painting - partly because they are easy to store, do not require a special place and are easy to fit into the interior.

Another important factor is reproducibility
The price of the product also depends on one more factor - reproducibility. For example, there are unique works that exist in a single copy, or limited edition works.
Let us illustrate this: if it is a photo with the 1/30 mark, it will cost less than a photo with a 30/30 imprint because the last copy is usually the most expensive. If the circulation of the work of art is declared as public, its cost will be several times lower. It normally concerns areas like photography, drawing, video art, sculpture, - these are the objects that exist and can be reproduced in several copies.
