The 19th annual LA Art show (which ended this past Sunday) had it’s first underground art section this year. This section called ‘Littletopia’ featured edgy and emerging artists which young collectors and show goers tend to like, according to the LA Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stork Club by Deanna Fainelli $900 on Zatista.com<\/p><\/div>\n

Galleries showing in Littletopia offered art ranging from $300-$5000, which are relatively affordable entry level prices for new art collectors. Lauren Albrecht, co-founder of Art Nerd City Guides<\/a>, said, “…A lot of people don\u2019t know how to get started collecting, so that\u2019s why we wanted to do this — to have engagement with the art show on a more casual and approachable level.” Albrecht continued with her top three tips for beginning art collectors:<\/p>\n

Bird Home by Rachel Gillen $375 on Zatista.com<\/p><\/div>\n

–\u201cLook for a blue chip artist like Damien Hirst or Jim Dine and buy an early print of a multiple run. The later ones in the series — like 15 of 15 — are pricier a year later because they\u2019re now scarce.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sand Beach, Late Afternoon by John Bowdren $2,250 on Zatista.com<\/p><\/div>\n

–\u201cFor original, hand painted or handcrafted works, you want to find small but affordable pieces. They may not have much wall power, size wise, but they\u2019re within reach,\u201d<\/p>\n

Patternicity #1 by Cynthia Holland $1,925 on Zatista.com<\/p><\/div>\n

–\u201cMost important: buy what you love; because you\u2019re going to live with it and look at it every day, and you want some kind of emotional connection to it. Go with your gut instinct.\u201d<\/p>\n
