In the art market, which is worth €60 billion annually worldwide, obviously not everyone can afford to buy. In fact, there are works that literally don't fit in the home or are beyond the reach of most people.

Ruth Méndez reports that in addition to wealthy individuals, companies, and institutions, ARCO offers a consulting service to explore new clients. Elisa Hernando is one of them. As an advisor and CEO of Arte Global, the expert assures that at this fair "there are super interesting works to buy for small budgets ."

Alessia Rossi, after saving a lot, is ready to put herself in their hands and invest from five hundred to one thousand euros in one of them. As a novice collector and art lover, she wants to warn young people that " we spend a lot of money on technology, computers... and sometimes we don't consider that they only last a few years."

However, " a work stays there forever ," the buyer says. Like her, thousands of novice collectors need help to avoid wasting money on a piece that isn't properly valued.

For them, Elisa gives them some initial advice : "Buy what you like, don't be afraid to ask prices, because it's a way to learn how much an artist is worth and how much they are quoted," she says.

As a buyer, Alessia says she finds this " a very important point ." With these advisors, " you feel more comfortable spending this money on this."
