Selling Art On Ebay - Notes from a non-artist type..




Recently I have been fascinated by Art. I am not sure if it is an escape from reality thing or just an appreciate that grows as we age. In any case, I have always had some luck selling unusual pieces of art which I find out and about on my Ebay searchese of flea markets , tag sales etc.


Recently I came across an oversized poster booklet (in quantity) and and Artist named Christo that did the banners/flags of an orange/salmon looking color in Central park recently. I loved the posters and picked these items up cheaply. The images are of art done on a grand scale. From islands and bridges being wrapped to umbrellas set across miles of hill or in raging rivers. Ebay has developed an interesting art market. It is not just the antique pieces or pieces by lesser known masters but markets its developing all by itself . For now ill leave you with some pictures of the posters in the large posterbook by Christo, but my next blog installment will be on the ACEO artist trading cards! Thanks for reading my blog! :) -Marty
