All famous artists were once obscure. Those who are able to snap up their collections at this stage will be able to prove that they have a keen eye for spotting talent. Of course, they will receive a considerable degree of compensation for their efforts as well.
Take Daisuke Miyatsu from Japan, one of the top 100 modern art collectors in the world, as an example. He has been building both fame and fortune since 1994. He published "Let’s Buy Contemporary Art with Pocket Money" to prove that office workers can also be ranked among the top 100 international collectors.

No. Just as being able to sing does not make one a singer, being able to paint does not make one an artist.
More requirements must be met to be considered an artist and these include originality, personal style, timeliness, academic qualities, etc., all of which must be met.

This is a risky move. The artwork would not be carefully picked by a professional art gallery, nor will there be a certificate issued by an art gallery. This will greatly affect future circulation of the artwork.
Therefore, many professional collectors focus on selecting galleries rather than artists.

1. It is recommended to keep the original packaging material properly, it can be used in the future if there is a need for storage, so as to avoid damage to the work caused by the use of other packaging materials.
2. Where possible, try to hang your artworks in shadier spots, to avoid deterioration, deformation and discoloration of the work due to ultraviolet rays or heat.
3. Art works should not be placed in humid environments, such as toilets, kitchens, etc., where moisture is generated.
4. If the artwork has no covering, do not touch or apply pressure with your hands or any object, so as not to damage the picture of the work.
5. If the artwork has no covering, do not use any cleaning agent, solution, scouring pad, rag, scrubbing brush, etc. cleaning supplies to clean or wipe.
6. Use air dust blower or paper duster to remove dust on the surface. (other special media works do not apply this cleaning method).
7. While the art pieces are stored in the warehouse, works of the same size might be placed face to face or back to back against the wall. They are not stacked flat on top of each other (single sheets may be placed flat), are not subject to pressure, and the painted side is not stacked against any object. The above conditions ensure that the art pieces are not damaged by external pressure.
