The more bad news we hear about the economy the more convinced we become of collecting art. Now it’s time to start your investment and Common Art wants to help. They have put together an exhibition of 70 emerging artists specifically chosen to catch the eye of collectors. Thus they titled the show “Start Your Art Collection 2008!” The show includes original works, small sculptures, limited edition prints and every thing else with a maximum of £200. It’s a cheap way to begin or extend your own collection. There is a big kick off private viewing Friday beginning at 6:30 p.m. and a lot of the artists in the show will be present. The exhibition is the East side of London in Shoreditch and will be open through the September 21.
