Question

Would you buy a painting from a restaurant wall if it was for sale?

Answer 1

If I liked it yes! Some of my student friends are selling their paintings in local restaurants. It's a great idea as long as it's not over done.

Answer 2

yes i cn alot of kool pics i really like that i cant find in stores

Answer 3

sure!! why not? a painting is a painting no matter where it is or comes from as long as it has meaning and inspiration for you then you should have it for yourself!!!

Answer 4

why not.also,if u want a painting.i know a very talented artist ... when u want just tell me.&i will give u his contact number.his painting are not very expensive.coz he is still a student,but beleive it. he is great (with art of course :P )

Answer 5

Sure. In fact, some local restaurants will showcase artwork from local artists in the hopes that it will sell. If you like the painting, buy it. Don't worry if it's "classy" or not. Art is subjective.

Answer 6

Why not, some paintings hanging in restaurants however do get very dirty, you may have to have it cleaned professionally and that could add some to the buying price.  One restaurant in my town has about 10 Manos Rovithis paintings on the wall, for a price they may all be for sale.  He was a Greek painter who died in the 1990's.  Each day his paintings could be going up in price and now some sit on that restaurant wall getting only noticed by the diners.  Who knows they could be worth thousands.

Answer 7

no...who sells their paintings in a restaurant? i'd sooner buy it at a yard sale.

Answer 8

Ask the restaurant manager about the details of the painting- who painted it, when did the painter start displaying his work, how much is the piece of art, etc.. If the painting is done by a well known figure, have it authenticated first (by the painter himself if it is possible). By all means buy it, if your questions are answered reasonably. If in doubt, don't buy it!
