Article Abstract:
Modern paintings by young Japanese artists remain a sound investment amid the crash in prices of other works of art. Investors with an eye for modern art and discernment of artistic potential are advised to invest in the still reasonably priced art pieces. Modern paintings by old Japanese artists which used to auction at 130 to 170 million yen a piece have gone down to 50 to 90 million yen, whereas prices of works by young artists have remained stable at about 1 million yen a piece. An investor must be ready to shell out at least 500,000 yen and expect a reasonable return on investment in ten years.
