Sensible reasons to buy art

Of course its always a good idea to buy art because you like it but art can also be a sound investment.

In these uncertain times where stock markets have nosedived what sort of investment gives you a safe haven for your money ? Will a classic Monet or a Picasso suddenly be worth nothing ? I very much doubt it.
The value of a work of art may go up or down but artworks generally don't go bust !
In the unlikely event that an artwork gets destroyed you can still claim on your insurance.

Who in their right mind would put their money into in a business these days.. with all those overheads and the lovely banks and government as demanding silent partners ?
