i have got £150 - 250 to invest in a piece of art - ideally i'd like to buy a painting by an up and coming artist that will appreciate in value - any ideas?

There is NO WAY to know whether a new artists work will appreciate in value. All you can do is buy what you like. Never buy for investment, always buy because you respond to the work. That way, if nothing happens for that artist, career-wise, you still have an artwork you love.
P.S. If you're looking to buy contemporary art. 150-250 pounds will not get you much.

Hi.
This may seem a little obvious,but artistsupandcoming.co.uk is,believe it or not,a genuine website for people wishing to invest or adorn their walls with something a little different.
Give it a look.
Merry Christmas!

Always buy art you like. Art purely as investment is a long shot but if you like what you buy it won't matter if it appreciates or not. D'ya like any of mine? http://www.artwanted.com/artist.cfm?ArtID=31019

i hear a little known artist called van gogh is becoming popular, but his behaviour is a bit irrational due to his liking for absinthe, he'll probably end up doing something silly to himself, mark my words
