Two reactions to the $2.34 million painting by Jean Paul Lemieux

Howdy!

In this article by Martine Turenne from Agence QMI, Simon Blais is quoted as saying that he raised the price on a Lemieux painting he is selling by $300,000 and that buying art is “always a safe bet.”

In this article by John Archer in the Gazette, he writes “buy pieces that will give you pleasure during your lifetime and not to worry about the investment component unless you play in that rarefied field of the ultra-rich collector.”

Who are you going to believe? The art dealer with a vested interest in selling art? Or the investment adviser who also happens to collect art?
