I've always had a love for art, but with askART I've caught the "art fever!" I've literally used it to learn more about art in general and explore artists that I never would have known before.

I started collecting art about 2 months ago and was looking for a "bluebook" service to give me an idea on what I should pay. The first few paintings I purchased, I dramatically overpaid for them. So, I asked a local auction house and they highly recommended your service.
