Investing In Art or Gold: The Best Options During Economic Instability


"The question one must ask them self is, if the wealthy investors are hoarding onto gold bullion's and if currencies will be backed by the gold standard in the near future, then how does art come into the equation as a safe hedge against inflation? Firstly before one considers investing in gold they must understand that they need deep pockets, as a kilo bullion bar is currently trading at $45 000. Even after parting with such a huge sum, one must realise they can’t keep a $45 000 gold bullion bar under their bed, so monthly storage charges must be taken into consideration. Historically art has always been the alternative to gold.

During the period of high hyper-inflation in Germany which occurred after the First World War those who had invested in art came through that period better off, as the return on their investment in art-works out-performed investments in options that were available during that period. Most importantly art managed to beat the extremely high inflation rate, which would explain why so many art-works were looted during the Second World War.

As an alternative investment to gold, art has over years proven to be a real solid investment. With these uncertain economic times that we are in, its time to seriously consider your future by taking prudent pre-cautions to ring yourself against the effects of the current economic upheavals and events that are soon to come. In times of economic instabilities you are better off investing in art or gold." by Michael Takura

PAX AMERICANA. POLITICAL CANDY BY ANTHONY JOHN GRAY

Sensation Modern Fine Art























ANTHONY JOHN GRAY & THE NEW WORLD ORDER



Anthony John Gray is doing something innovative in the artworld.Works such as "PAX AMERICANA:NO.2.POLITICAL CANDY hint at a "New World Order" having moved forward from the first canvas Old Glory
Due to the use of colours, the title of the work is Political Candy. For in some ways that is exactly what it is.The flags are represented in pixellated form as some of them are in a state of retreat and others about to place their influence on world affairs.Pakistan is represented inside the Indian flag construction with two symbols that turn of the image into a nuclear state, which it already is.


On the right hand side is the China flag including grid lines that divide the picture plane.Underneath is a coca-cola can pixellated inside the flag but the can is not an American one but one in Arabic.


Inside the whole structure is the American flag broken up into pieces, pixellated and again put into a butterfly shape thus linking it with the first work.The centre piece contains part of a star and the wing structures are the part of the lines making up the thirteen colonies.There is an overall pattern to the work that draws everything together and after becoming familiar with the power within it-it becomes easy to understand the relationship of colours and construction.


Everything within the picture is carefully balanced on points each supporting the other in some way or another.
