Why go to Bali
Last week my wife had to go to Bali on her own, my work prevented me from going, and I can assure that I will not let this happen again. Let me explain. She arrived back home at 4.00am on Friday morning and the first thing that she had to say was that she was flaggerblasted to see aboriginal art for sale in one of the stores there. She went there to investigate the purchase of traditional Balinese style huts for a Tourist Park, which we hope to develop. Never willingly send a woman shopping, she ended up buying everything but the huts. She bought furniture, planter pots, statues, bed spreads, sheets, doonas, tiles, pavers and some huge doors like the ones that you see in old movies.
I was hoping to fill 2 x 40' containers with the Huts, now I fear that we are going to need 6 x 40' containers to fit everything in. I know of women who are compulsive and obsessive shoppers, and get home and tell their husbands how much they have saved by buying this dress or these shoes etc., as a male my answer would be you haven't saved money you have spent it. My wife has never been one of that type, but I fear that now she is. She justifies her purchases by saying that she didn't buy anything that we won't use. She may be right but it will take 20yrs to use everything that she has bought.
We are going to have to go into the retail furniture business, because if we don't sell something we aren't going to be able to move in our home. Don't get me wrong some of the stuff is absolutely beautiful but where are we going to put it all.
She has bought 2 of everything, except for hand basins, 12 of them, and 5 Beds, 3 sets of 6 dining room chairs, enough tiles and pavers to do 10 houses, lions of varying sizes, elephants, cats, owls, you name the animal she has probably bought a statue of it.
But I regress, back to the appearance of Aboriginal Art in Bali, is it so much in demand that we in Australia can't keep up with international demand and that you have to travel to countries near Australia to buy something that is uniquely Australian. A lot of tourists come to Australia to buy Aboriginal Art, but if you can buy it in Bali, or Europe or the USA, why come to Australia. Let me explain why.
You should come to Australia to buy Aboriginal Art because there is only one website where you can buy the art of young relatively unknown Aboriginal Artists. If you dont buy from this particular website then the only other way that you can start investing in young Aboriginal Artists, and therefore potentially have a much greater return on your investment, is to come to Australia.
Spend lots of time travelling across the length and breadth of the country and buy all of the Aboriginal Art for sale that you can find, because it will be a long time before you come back. Spend a few months; because there are people who have spent years travelling around Australia and they still haven't seen it all, it is a huge country.
If you are buying Aboriginal Art purely for is aesthetic value then why pay thousands of dollars for a famous artist when you can support a young up and coming Aboriginal Artist who can produce a similar product. Do your figures, you can spend thousands of dollars buying the paintings of well-known artists and sit on them and wait for years for them to increase in value or you can invest in young artists and get a more rapid capital growth.
