Why buy modern art from Nepal?

 
Picture
Did you even know there WERE contemporary artist in this small Himalayan country, the Shangri-la for trekkers and mountain-climbers, wedged between India and Tibet? That you can find hip hotels, great coffee, and a vibrant art scene in Kathmandu? (Check out www.nepal-now.net !)

So you are actually interested in modern art, ready to buy original art maybe for the first time, not the rich collector (yet) but on the look-out for professional works at a good price. Then contemporary art from Nepal is exactly what you are looking for.

Five reasons why buying modern art from Nepal will make you feel good:

1. You get great works at a great price - even though that may be kind of obvious when you are buying stuff from a developing country with a whole different income level.

2. You support young artists in a chaotic country with lots of problems - but still a country which allows for great creativity in the midst of a struggling economy.

3. As the art scene is still rather manageable in size, chances are high that you get to meet "your" artist personally, may that be virtually or actually face-to-face on a trip to Nepal.

4. You get to feel a real "patron of the arts" as one of the first Westerners to become involved in acquiring works from outside the country - and instead of being an anonymous buyer you will be personally valued and cherished.

5. Your support can really make an impact as artists tend to spread their new "wealth" from international sales by setting up own art projects with community activities (e.g. lectures, discussions, workshops for street kids ...)


And last but not least: the art is great!

So let me help you to buy your first piece of contemporary art from Nepal.  After 20 years of visiting Nepal again and again, and a good decade of immersion into the young art scene of Kathmandu I can be the link between you and my artist friends in Kathmandu via www.chautara.nl and www.NepalNow.blog .

Namasté,
Beata

Great point with be a "patron of the arts" and supporting the artists. It can give the artist a psychological boost that his work matters.

Great piece. The fact that I'd be supporting young, fierce creatives in a revolutionary period is enough for me to buy modern art from Nepal.

Great post! Love the point about the high likelihood of being able to actually meet the artist, not something that happens very often these days.
