Why buy art?

It’s a simple question, with a complex answer...

Words Tony Davidson, Director, Kilmorack Gallery

T

here is a fantasy collection game: what would you put on your walls if you could pick from the whole of art history? My fantasy collection would include a Matisse, a Rembrandt self-portrait, an early Picasso, and so on. It’s idle daydreaming – but some people actually play this game, albeit at the extreme end of the art world.

Art buying for these super-rich people or organisations is only a tiny answer to the ‘why buy art?’ question. In this world, the price of a painting is set by what the richest person on the planet will pay for it. For them, buying paintings, as well as being a sign of their good taste, is the physical manifestation of their wealth and power. The Medicis didn’t display their children’s finger-painting… not

in public, anyway. Art buying for most of us is a more personal thing, and no less engaging for that.

People buy art because it adds to their everyday lives. They come home at night or wake up in the morning and engage with an image. It might be an image that means something to them – a mountain they’ve climbed many times, say – or there may be some more esoteric quality in the work.

Normally it is a combination of both, but it is these esoteric qualities that the most experienced collectors are most attuned to. A confidently drawn line or well-placed colour can have an almost spiritual dimension.

It can lift us up. “The world is not so complex,” it says, ➔

Why buy art?

“if you know how to look at it.” The same is true about humour in a work of art. A cryptic Mona Lisa smile, the tiny dot of paint that suggests everything about light and form, can hit us hard and penetrate deeply. There are many ways in which living with a painting can enhance our lives, possibly even make us better people, and all of these are a valid reason to buy art.

The third reason for buying a painting is a more practical one: money. Art can be a cracking investment. Someone who bought a Gerald Laing painting for £60,000 last year sold it this year for £380,000. There can’t have been many better buys in 2011. Investing in a painting is more complex than this basic dream, though; very few works bought today will feel the touch of Christie’s white-gloved handlers any time soon.

Most will not make the cost of a small house – but some will. The dream remains, and it rewards some, often the most devoted, more than others.

Even though I’ve been running an established gallery for 15 years, I still

Above, Love and Death Cinema by Jock McFadyen; Below, flower watercolour by Clare Robinson

am not certain which painters will reach the top of the art world’s price list. But that doesn’t matter – it’s not the most important financial factor in buying a painting. Most buyers simply find investing in art a joy, and one of the few completely ethical ways of spending money – since almost all the cost of a painting is spent locally. And some artists today whose work is perfectly affordable will be remembered in a thousand years’ time. Putting your savings into a bank or an oil company’s stocks really can’t compete with that. ● Kilmorack Gallery, Inverness-shire www.kilmorackgallery.co.uk

‘The best art is the stuff you feel in your gut’

Jim Lambie, Radiator, 2008

Roger Billcliffe Gallery owner

Twenty-odd years ago the Clydesdale Bank sponsored an exhibition of Christine McArthur’s paintings at the Billcliffe Gallery. At a dinner organised by the bank, Christine sat next to Stuart Gulliver, then head of the Christine McArthur, Made in Sheffield Scottish Development Agency. After dinner she told me that Stuart came from Sheffield, my home town – she’d guessed because he was examining his cutlery, something she’d noticed that Sheffield people did. After talking to Stuart, we realised that we were brought up in the same part of town and had gone to the same primary school. He was a couple of years older than me and we had never met before, but we had many shared memories.

A few months later Christine produced this painting for her next show and I hurriedly claimed it.

Toby Webster

Director, The Modern Institute My friend Will Bradley wrote the following for a show I curated. It sums up why I collect art: “Historical forms and ideas can be reused not only as inspiration but as raw material. Functionalism becomes ornament, decoration becomes ideology…

Objects seem to hallucinate themselves, caught between the basic physical attributes that enable them to function and other set forms that are trying to materialise in the space they occupy and take them over completely. Order and disorder are exchanged.

In the rigid confines of a modern society it’s necessary to introduce disruption, confusion. In the wreckage of modern civilisation, there are moments of balance and harmony that need to be preserved, given space.”

Max Slaven

Exhibitions co-ordinator, David Dale Gallery & Studio This work was a gift from the artist James Clarkson.

It’s a variation of an edition he had for sale at the Rod Barton Gallery in London recently, and was given to me when he stayed at my house while on a site James Clarkson, Pavilion visit for his exhibition at the David Dale Gallery in October. I admire James’s ability to seamlessly marry a knowing view of Modernist art and design with a contemporary practice that both acknowledges its foundations and creates something fascinating from them, and pushes forward. His intuitive use of readymade materials belies the history that he draws from – he is able to chart the trajectories of both high art and mainstream design throughout the Modernist era. It is this rapport that I find so enjoyable in his work.

Kevin Coyle

Head of art & design, Holyrood Secondary The best art is the stuff that appeals on an emotional level, that you feel in your gut. It could be due to the subject, the artist’s skill, or because the artist means something to you personally. This etching, part of a series of Crucifixions by Denise Walker, is all three. It also signifies the inevitability of good prevailing over evil – a comforting thought. The very essence of blind faith.

A new way of looking Scotland’s art scene is thriving, thanks to a fresh perspective Words Richard Demarco Portrait Jon Savage

realised during my student days at Edinburgh College of Art in the early 1950s that apart from the impact of the Festival (which had begun in 1947) there were very few international influences on the Scottish art world, and that even in those early post-war years the leading artists tended to leave the country in order to further their careers. Robert Colquhoun and Robert McBride, for example, left Glasgow School of Art for London at more or less at the same time as Alan Davie, William Gear and Eduardo Paolozzi all headed south from Edinburgh College of Art. In those days in Edinburgh there was no civic Gallery of Contemporary Art and certainly no Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. In fact, the concept of a Scotland-based art gallery linked to international art market was unthinkable. Even the Festival’s exhibitions tended to ignore the work of living artists.

Glasgow had the Cyril Gerber Gallery; Edinburgh had the Aitken Dott Gallery; Dundee and Aberdeen had no equivalent ‘commercial’ galleries.

The Royal Scottish Academy and the Royal Glasgow Institute provided museum-scale gallery spaces, mainly for exhibitions with a distinct Scottish dimension. The Scottish Arts Council was nonexistent and therefore ➔

government funding on a civic or national level was hardly an option for artists. However, a dramatic change took place in the late 1960s when Jenny Lee was made the Labour government’s Minister of Culture. National funding for the arts became the dominant factor in defining the Scottish art world. Arts Council funding was all-powerful.

Even without government funding, however, the Traverse Theatre Club, with its theatre and art gallery, and Jim Haynes’s Paperback Bookshop represented the aspirations of a small group of friends in keeping alive the international spirit of the Edinburgh Festival throughout the whole year.

The Demarco Gallery came into being with programmes which enabled me to work as the director of the Festival’s official programme of contemporary international exhibitions. Thus I was able to create international dialogues between Scottish artists and their counterparts in Europe and beyond.

In the 1980s and 1990s, and

increasingly up until the present, the Scottish art world was still to a large extent dependent on government funding. This has caused the power-base for international art initiatives and policies to be controlled by a conglomeration of art institutions such as the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Dundee Contemporary Arts (DCA), Edinburgh’s Fruitmarket Gallery, Stills (Scotland’s centre for photography), Glasgow School of Art, the Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA, born out of Glasgow’s Third Eye Centre) and the Modern Institute. There is also to be taken into account the international programming relating to Glasgow’s Print Studio and equivalents in Edinburgh and Aberdeen, particularly in relation to the Scottish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale over the past decade. And it should not be forgotten that the longestablished Scottish Royal Society of Painters in Watercolour (RSW) and the Society of Scottish Artists (SSA) have in recent decades developed international programmes.

Thankfully, the Scottish art world’s power-base is now influenced by ➔

While Demarco concentrated on promoting some of the most avant-garde art in Europe, his own work is more traditional

the international programmes of independent galleries such as those of Richard Ingleby, Paul Nesbitt at Inverleith House, Robert and Nicky Wilson at Jupiter Artland and David Weir at Dovecot Studios, as well as the Scotland Russia Institute, the University of Edinburgh’s Talbot Rice Gallery and Robert McDowell as an art patron at Summerhall.

Glasgow has long benefited from its wide-ranging civic museums, centred on Kelvingrove, the university’s Hunterian Museum, the Burrell Collection and Pollok House.

There are now highly successful and sophisticated Edinburgh-based commercial galleries led by the Open Eye Gallery, the Scottish Gallery, Atticsalt and Bourne Fine Art. The Queen’s Gallery is a welcome addition to the capital’s museum world as are the recently refurbished Scottish National Portrait Gallery and Royal Scottish Museum. The Royal Scottish Academy has, in recent years, revealed itself as a driving force in establishing international dialogues, helping to create a groundswell of activities by 16 THE GUIDE 2012

groups of artists all over Scotland.

They communicate with each other with the help of publications such as Transmission Gallery’s art newspaper Artwork, under the editorship of Bill Williams, and Summerhall’s Arts Journal, edited by Iain Gale.

Further afield there is the Aberdeen Art Gallery, Dundee’s McManus Museum and the University of Dundee’s Cooper Gallery; the Pier Art Gallery in Stromness, Orkney; An Laantair arts centre in Stornoway; and Ian Hamilton Finlay’s Little Sparta in the Pentland hills.

Two other influences are crucial. One, modern technology, is encouraging Scottish artists to take responsibility for themselves and to travel extensively and independently. Second, as more and more Polish artists establish themselves here, the international image of the contemporary Scottish art world improves.

And, with internationally significant large-scale projects such as the Dundee V&A in the pipeline, the future of the Scottish art world looks brighter than ever. ● Bid live online at mctears.co.uk/live

The right frame will protect and enhance your art Words Hugh Goring, Frames Gallery

5 6

A frame has two main functions: to protect the artwork and to enhance the artwork.

If the artwork is on paper, it must have glass to protect it. The addition of a mount can enhance the look of the work as well as improve protection by raising the glass off the artwork.

3

Oils and acrylics are quite robust and may not need glass but they will often look better behind glass. Reflections from the glass can be distracting, however, and you may need to consider paying a bit extra for non-reflective museum glass.

The style of frame you choose will depend on a combination of your own taste, the artwork itself, current fashion and the room in which it will be hanging.

Of these, the right frame for the artwork is the factor that matters most.

A contemporary print will usually look best in a frame with a clean and elegant profile, possibly coloured to suit the artwork.

7

With a more traditional piece of art, it is worth considering a gold frame or perhaps a dark wood frame.

8

A good framer should be able to offer a wide choice of different profiles and finishes as well as a range of hand-finished frames individually designed to suit your particular artwork.

9

Finding a good framer is like finding a good restaurant. You can ask friends’ opinions and check out the reviews on Google but ultimately you need to try it yourself and see if you like the service.

10

Be wary of the word ‘bespoke’. Many framers use the term but some are more bespoke than others. It should mean a frame that is individually made and designed to suit the artwork that you are getting framed. ● Gilt complex: A fancy gold frame makes a statement 18 THE GUIDE 2012

ith the opening of our eagerly anticipated S.J. Peploe retrospective on November 3, a trend we will be seeing in Edinburgh this autumn is a focus on the still-life painting. Samuel John Peploe (1871-1935) is one of the four artists popularly known as the Scottish Colourists, alongside Cadell, Fergusson and Hunter. They are considered to be among the most important Scottish artists of the 20th century. Peploe is celebrated for the beautiful still-lifes he painted throughout his career. He made

his name with exquisite works such as The Coffee Pot (above), in which a sophisticated after-dinner atmosphere is implied by the elegant coffee pot, glass, crumpled napkin and discarded fan with black ribbon. Peploe persistently experimented with the still-life genre, and other works in the exhibition reveal his first-hand involvement with the latest developments in French art before the First World War, an engagement with CĂŠzanne and the development of the paintings centred on roses for which he is most renowned. Various objects depicted in the paintings, such as vases, a jug and the silver coffee pot itself, will be included in the exhibition.

Outwith the solo exhibitions, the highly detailed work of Robert MacMillan continues to captivate visitors to the gallery, while Francis Boag – a key member of the new generation of Scottish colourists – also attracts buyers who enjoy his vibrant, colourful landscapes (pictured) and expertly composed still-life paintings.

The strong contrasts in light and shade in his French landscapes that make the work of John Kingsley PAI so recognisable also interests both new and existing collectors, and his wholly modern approach to still-life painting compels those who feel they know his work to take another look.

elling paintings is a funny business and one I often wonder why I’m involved in.

I remind myself that I’d be financially better off if I let the premises to the highest bidder. This thought is both a curse and a blessing – a curse because I’m reminded that the hard slog is for little financial return, but a blessing because it reminds me that I represent artists for the kick I get from promoting someone whose work I genuinely believe in.

That is very liberating and allows me take the gallery in what perhaps wouldn’t be the most commercial direction.

And that direction is guided by my own interests and taste. I’m definitely interested in mark-making. I like to see the marks made by an artist’s hand and relish the emotional response those marks can elicit in me. It is that emotional response I am looking for, and one that I find in both landscape and figurative work.

This year I’ve been quite brave with my exhibition programme, including many more artists new to the gallery than I normally would. In the spring I exhibited Patricia Cain, and this September both Steven Lindsay and Jennifer Houliston exhibited with me for the first time.

Auction help desk

Under the hammer Before you place your bid, familiarise yourself with these wise words...

Words Philip Gregory, Lyon & Turnbull

■ You will need proof of identity and a credit card.

■ On arrival, register at reception, where you will receive a paddle with a number on it.

■ Sit somewhere comfortable and don’t get over-excited – remember to stick to your upper limit.

■ Ask for a condition report. This will bring to your attention any problems with the item.

■ Never bid without viewing unless you’re an expert. And if you spot a bargain when viewing, try not to get too excited or you may alert others.

■ Decide on the amount you are prepared to pay, determine your upper limit and stick to it. A canny auctioneer might try to cajole you into carrying on a bit further.

■ Remember that commission and VAT on any charges will be added to the hammer price.

■ On your first bid, wave your paddle in the air to attract the attention of the auctioneer.

And don’t be scared to move – a sneeze, a nod or a wink will not be seen as a bid.

■ Etiquette demands that once the auctioneer has taken your bid he will stay with you until you drop out – indicate this by shaking your head.

■ Remember, in the early stages that you may be bidding against the owner’s reserve or against bids left ‘ on the book’.

■ If you are successful, the auctioneer will call out your paddle number after the hammer has fallen at close of the lot.

■ Calm and cool are the watch words. ● Lyon & Turnbull, Fine Art and Antique Auctioneers & Valuers www.lyonandturnbull.com

Lighting and positioning

Bright ideas

Ian’s advice

Ian Smith is passionate about art.

The interior designer believes the right painting can make a room – but only if lit properly and hung to best advantage

■ Buying original art doesn’t have to be complex or expensive. As a quick rule of thumb, if you like it, buy it.

■ I have reframed a lot of clients’ paintings recently, particularly ones with heavy traditional frames that appeared to swamp the pictures.

When it comes to frames, simplicity is the key.

Words Ian Smith, Ian Smith Design

■ When deciding where to hang a picture, bear in mind its size in proportion to the wall.

■ Oversize the art if possible.

■ Light up a painting or a piece of sculpture. It will add to the room’s atmosphere and of course emphasise the piece of art to give enjoyment.

■ The light can be a recessed directional downlight above the piece of art.

■ Don’t allow the light fixture to be the feature.

■ If the painting is expensive or important, it is worth lighting it perfectly using a concealed framing projector (see John Cullen Lighting).

■ Furnish a wall with a group of paintings clustered together and light up the group in the manner described above.
