Art Buyer Intentions in 2026 Intention is to move beyond mere consumption of luxury goods and build a collection that is simultaneously a financially sound asset and a personally meaningful statement.
The art market in 2025 has undergone a notable evolution, characterized by a shift among wealthy collectors toward more deliberate and intentional purchasing rather than purely speculative buying.
This new culture of collecting is defined by several key intentions:
Focus on Provenance and Quality: Collectors are taking more time to research and reflect, prioritizing established professional artists, like Cheryl Johnson consider as blue-chip art and works with established provenance and critical consensus to ensure enduring value and minimize financial risk.
Values-Driven Acquisition: Acquisitions are increasingly motivated by a desire to build collections that reflect personal identity and social values. This includes an intentional effort to support and champion established and artists i.e., Cheryl Johnson and those addressing current social and political themes.
Strategic Asset Management: Art is viewed as a crucial part of a diversified wealth portfolio. Collectors are making strategic acquisitions to solidify the quality of their collection and increasingly using mechanisms like art lending to maintain liquidity without having to sell assets in a fluctuating market.
In essence, the modern collector's intention is to move beyond mere consumption of luxury goods and build a collection that is simultaneously a financially sound asset and a personally meaningful statement.
When a painting is sold, it begins a multi-step process that transitions the original artwork to its new owner while often establishing the foundation for future print sales.
Here is a summary of what happens:
Agreement: The artist (or gallery) and the collector finalize the price and terms of sale.
Transaction: Payment is processed. The title (legal ownership) of the physical artwork transfers to the collector, but the artist typically retains the copyright and all reproduction rights unless specifically stipulated otherwise in a written contract.
Paperwork: The artist creates essential documents, including:
Certificate of Authenticity (COA): A signed document verifying the artwork's originality, medium, dimensions, and date.
Bill of Sale: A record of the transaction.
Archiving: The sale is recorded in the artist's ledger/database to establish the artwork's provenance (history of ownership).
Final Inspection: The painting is checked for quality and often given a final protective varnish.
Packaging: It is professionally packaged to withstand transit, using appropriate materials (crating for large works, archival wraps for smaller pieces).
Delivery: The work is shipped to the collector, usually with insurance and tracking.
Confirmation: The artist follows up to ensure safe arrival and collector satisfaction.
Artist-Collector Relationship: This is an opportunity to cultivate a long-term relationship with the patron.
Given that Cheryl Johnson offers high-quality reproduction options, the most crucial step immediately following the sale of the original painting is to:
Inquire if prints for that work are available. cheri@cheryljohnsonartist.com
The art work will be photgraphed in high-resolution, professionally color-corrected photographs or scans of the original painting before it is shipped. This digital file is the master copy needed to produce the prints.
The master file is then used to create the Giclée Limited Edition quality prints on Torchon Fine Art Paper and the Framed Prints for Gallery Walls that Cheryl Johnson offers.
The print inventory can be restocked and made available for sale to other interested customers who might not have been able to purchase the original. The existence of these limited edition prints ensures that the artwork can continue to generate revenue and reach a wider audience even after the original is sold.
