The first step to becoming an art collector is to determine your art interests and preferences. This can be done by visiting art galleries, museums and exhibitions to familiarize yourself with different styles, movements and artists. By exploring different types of art, you can determine the styles and eras that interest you most and start searching for works that suit your tastes.

It is well known that real estate was once considered one of the best ways to invest your money. However, in recent years, art has become increasingly popular with investors. What explains this enthusiasm for art? Why are more and more people considering art a better way to invest than real estate? This is what we will explore in this article.

Why is art a good investment?

First of all, art is an alternative form of investment. This means that it is an option that does not depend on traditional financial markets. Art does not follow the same trends as the stock market or bonds, making it less risky. Additionally, art is rare and unique, making it more valuable over time.

Art and real estate: mutual enhancement

Art can also enhance real estate by giving it a history or a soul. This is the case, for example, of the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris. This building, designed by architect Frank Gehry, houses a collection of modern and contemporary art belonging to Bernard Arnault, boss of the LVMH group. The Louis Vuitton Foundation has become an emblematic place for contemporary art, but it has also become a symbol of architectural innovation.

Art can also help sell real estate by making it more attractive. Real estate developers often use artwork to decorate the common areas of their buildings, to make them more warm and welcoming. Artwork can also be used to decorate show apartments, to give an idea of ​​the ambiance and lifestyle that future owners will find there.

Both areas require a strong knowledge of market trends and developments. Whether you are an art collector or a real estate investor, it is essential to understand market movements to be able to make the right decisions. Both sectors are also highly influenced by economic and political developments, which can have a significant impact on prices and investment prospects.

In art as in real estate, projects are often long-term. Real estate investments require a financial commitment over several years, even several decades. Likewise, purchasing a work of art can be a long-term investment, requiring extensive research and expertise to be profitable.

“Wow, the wallpaper!” she cried as she entered the room. A last minute obligation had made them take the vacation route without having had time to organize themselves. When night fell, they only found this slightly strange little hotel still open, whose decoration projected them into an old-fashioned atmosphere which did not lack a subversive charm. When she undressed and pushed him onto the bed as he was about to take photos, her smartphone went off and caught her looking at their image in the mirror. He internally congratulated himself on...

Sometimes daily life immerses us for a more or less long period in a sort of well-oiled routine which consists of getting up at the same time, having lunch with unfailing consistency, working with obsessive regularity and ending the day with a TV film including we will have barely read the synopsis to get an idea of ​​the story and thus begin after a certain time the introduction of a sweet and calm night, as written on the boxes of herbal teas in the supermarket. The smoothness of such a routine is sometimes so discreet that even two of us absorb the rhythm... without blinking an eye. I say this in a banal way but I'm sure you've been there before. What is completely uncontrollable is the duration of a...

Eleven o'clock eleven... 11+11... the trouble of a mirror hour. You've probably already experienced that strange moment when you look at the clock and discover a mirror hour. In the same register 10:22 p.m., 4:44 a.m., 5:55 a.m.… Depending on the clock, if it is digital, we have the sensation of being in front of a casino slot machine and have obtained a winning combination. When you do research on this subject, the explanations are diverse and varied, ranging from coded communication from angels to the most contradictory numerology depending on the site that will try to explain its meaning to you.  

However, the subject remains troubling, because I have already experienced a succession of these mirror hours in a very short time, going from 10:22 p.m. to 3:33 a.m. then 5:55 a.m. and 4:16 p.m. For some it's a coincidence without...
