ACEO Art Cards - Anyone Can Collect Art
By Shannon Kish
Have you ever thought to yourself, "Man, I would love to own some really cool one-of-a-kind art, but it's so expensive, I can't afford it"? Me, too. Especially when it's a big, sprawling, wall piece, and, of course, if it's been created by a well-known artist. But what I'm discovering is that you don't have to buy those well-known artist pieces to be an art collector. Who cares if no one knows who the artist is. If the piece speaks to you, then that's all that matters. Lesser-known artists sell their work for a less expensive price, and that's how they start to get more well-known. There is also the option of artist trading cards, also known as ACEOs, which is an acronym for "Art Cards, Editions and Originals". These pieces are little lovelies of fine art in miniature, most of them no larger then 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches. Because they're smaller, the price is smaller, I guess (though, I've seen some amazing works where you can tell a lot of talent went into it). It's a great way to collect art, without the big price tag. Some people keep them in a book and other people frame them. They're not limited to 2-dimensional images, either. There are sculpture art cards as well. If you haven't yet, check them out. It's a pretty cool concept. They usually sell for around $10.00 to $15.00, but I've seen some up in the $100 range as well. I just discovered this art card site
and thought it was pretty cool. They have an ENORMOUS amount of art cards for sale. You should be able to find something that meets your artistic style there, whatever that may be. So if you always wanted to collect art, but didn't think you could afford it, think again. Support a lesser-known artist whose work you absolutely love or maybe be able to afford a tiny piece from your favorite well-known artist. And if you don't have a favorite artist, well, you should get one. You might even find a particular artist whose work seems to emulate your mind, thought process and emotions, as if a lot of their work was done specifically for you. Good luck in your quest of collecting art!
