How To Collect Art

June 2, 2012 -- With so many art festivals and fairs underway in Chicagoland, you might be inspired to get into the art of art collecting.

But how do you start?

Chris Bates, owner of Art Post Gallery came into our ABC7 studio to explain how to start an art collection.

Chris' Tips:

- Pick a piece that you love, not something that goes with your current décor.
- Live within your budget, but don't just buy something because it is inexpensive.
- Choose framing that enhances the piece, not overshadows it.
