The Neo-Edwardian Hipster

The niche market for famous art paintings has been increasing over the last decade. The reason for this is due to the U.S. obsession with celebrity and fame. In fact, it is common for newspapers and magazines to discuss and report on the life of celebrities, then it is to really be informed about world events or "news worthy" topics. This obsession with celebrity and fame has led to a very dramatic increase and almost shocking in the sale and the value of art of celebrity.

Collectors and fans are also very aware that obtaining, collecting, and selling of art of celebrity is a very beneficial way to earn a living. This is why more and more collectors and fans have been looking for the art of celebrity to add to your base or collections of celebrity-based entertainment.

Value in art paintings popularity increases and in some cases declining popularity of the celebrities. For example, a celebrity who remains at the peak of his career and seems to be more popular with each passing year is highly sought after when it comes to celebrities of art.

Collectors are not stupid and realize that a work of folk art paintings are worth their weight in gold in the future after retirement, or even dead. In fact, the art of a deceased celebrity actually bring more money than a celebrity life. The reasoning for this is simple. Once a celebrity has died no longer be able to continue creating works of art. Therefore, the art of a dead celebrity collectors are considered rare and die hard fans, and celebrity pay almost anything with the art of celebrity itself.

On the other side a celebrity who has become a "spectacle" that also created the art, his art will sell more and more. This is usually due to scandals or "circus" surrounding the celebrity in question.

Two examples are Michael Jackson and Britney Britain. Both races started with celebrities well known and publicized. His concerts sold to millions of people and they were the golden children of the media. However, when his personal life began to spiral out of control and began to grow blurred images on the media attention, its value when it comes to collectibles and art, actually increased.

Increased due to the fact that his fame grew despite the fact that his records did not sell as well as usual. The notoriety of these celebrities actually adds great value to his paintings. It will always be remembered for his career that changed the music, but it will be remembered more for the circus that developed in his personal life began to crumble and grows strange.

These are just some reasons why the art market niche celebrity has been increasing and will continue to grow over the next decade. No matter what world events occur, people do not get tired of celebrities and will do whatever is necessary to obtain a small piece of his life either in the form of autographed photos or original artwork created by the celebrity in question.
