How much does art cost?

There are several groups of art lovers in the art world. I'm now talking about those who don't do art professionally, although we love it too. I'm talking about those who go to exhibitions, visit art fairs, buy systematically or emotionally art objects. Talking to those who see the role of collector attractive, I realized that there are several obstacles: - it seems expensive; - it seems unclear; - it seems that this is not available to "ordinary mortals." This channel started just to make the entrance to the world of art a little clearer for those who love it. Let's talk about prices today. Where and when do we most often hear about the value of any art objects? Most likely (the opinion is subjective and open for discussion in the comments) - from the news from the auctions that someone again broke some record in terms of value. And immediately unthinkable millions of English pounds are voiced. Yes, individual copies can cost so much. And they can pay so much for them (some people know that after the auction the works may not be taken away from the auction house). But you can start with completely different amounts. And most people don't even start with millions of rubles. And from thousands. Yes, from a few thousand rubles. For example, with 5. Or 7. Not much. Yes, it won't be oil-canvas 1 meter high. It will most likely be graphics or watercolor. Or circulation graphics. The advantage of the latter is that within 10,000 rubles you can buy an author's circulation work (limited, with a signature) of an already famous artist. Or a young artist who has not yet found his gallery, but is already doing quality things. Do you think they become collectors with a free couple of million rubles or dollars? No, you can start with small amounts, and some of the purchased works will only grow in price. And perhaps in a few years this work will really cost many times or tens more.
