Most people probably won´t hang stocks or bitcoin on their wall at home. In fact, when you buy any original work of art, it´s always an investment in a way. An investment in something that first and foremost brings us joy, pleasure, beauty and in some cases the possibility of future appreciation or at least preservation of value. For centuries, art has also been seen as a "family heritage", proudly shared by generation after generation as a unique chronicle of family history. When the wife of the protagonist (played by Ivan Trojan) in the well-known fil detective story "In the Shadow"; talks about acquiring a Slavíček painting because she fears of monetary reform, she is accurately describing the historically proven role of precious works of art as a preserver of value despite the worst political or economic disasters. Times and world markets are turbulent, property prices are dizzying, and art is once again coming to the fore as both a stable and the only part of investment portfolios that has a soul.
