1
Visit
The first step to making sure you get the best possible deals at an art gallery is to keep visiting them. This way you will always know what items are up for sale, and if anything rare of collectable comes in, you would have the opportunity to move in and make the first bid on the art work. -

Make sure you know what the asking price is
Before making a deal, make sure you check the asking price for the piece. You don’t want to commit to a piece only to later find out that it is well out of your price range.
At the same time, try to make sure that you don’t settle on art works with red dots next to them, since that indicates that the piece has already been sold. -

Explore and inquire
The best way to find a gem in the art gallery is to constantly explore them and inquire about all the pieces there. This is going to help you get a better understanding about each piece and figure out just how much you should pay for a piece.
At the same time, knowing some history about the piece will also help you develop a better bond with it. -

Settle on a piece
After going through all the steps, go ahead and finally settle on one piece that you feel is ideal for you, and one that you won’t mind taking home with you. -

Purchase
The last step is to pay for the piece to the people running the gallery, so that they pay off the artist for the piece later on. However, while purchasing the piece, make sure you work out just who would be delivering and installing the piece in your house.
