Reply to comment by Acchilles in LPT: When buying art from an unknown or obscure artist, choose it because you love it, not as an investment, because odds are you will never be able to resell it for near what you paid for it. by latchkey_adult

What about the starving artist sale on the tee vee ? Paintings starting at only $19, nothing over $100, sold at the local holiday inn buffet and convention center ???

Potentially a scam, in bigger cities there are “art scams” where people sell paintings that aren’t paintings. They’re photocopy prints that were printed on a canvas.

I had a friend who was apart of one in college and she solid an entire art “collection” to a corporate buildings. As a result every painting in that building was fake but looked real.
