Quick tangential question - What's the best way to shop for nature photography prints? Most of these sorts of dedicated art stores seem to exclude nature photography.
They have a photography section, including "collections" from National Geographic
This seems pretty incredible, unless there is something not entirely straightforward about who has actually made them. $1200-$2000 for an original limited edition Salvador Dali or Marc Chagall print, seems like a steal. Maybe I just don't know much about how less rare artworks of well-known artists tend to be priced though...
Prints are cheap. These are not signed, "signed on plate" means the engraving plate was signed but that does not mean the print was supervised by the artist so they are semi mass produced. But even signed prints by moderately well known artists are cheap as they are very unfashionable.
Sounds like it's a good time to buy them then?

Link to poor people art please? (And please don't let it be Homer Simpson art---i.e. garbage smashed together. And I don't count digital prints as art.)
Check ebay, check etsy, search google for specific types of art if you know what kind of stuff you're looking for. Art in other (poorer) countries is also far cheaper than art in first world nations. Of course, well known artists will command serious prices, but for every well known artist, there dozens of other lesser-known artists with comparable quality and styles that you can get a lot cheaper. Or commission your…

You're too poor to own art whose primary defining characteristic as art is that it's too expensive for poor people to own.

Have you seen http://www.art.com or http://www.art.co.uk ? They have a photography section, including "collections" from National Geographic
I will take another look.
I wonder what the Artsy ( http://artsy.net/ ) folks think of this? I won't speak to the quality of art on the Amazon site as I browsed rather shallowly and don't have anything nice to say. Rather I will comment on the presentation. This is certainly a time when Amazon's one size fits all store presentation falls flat. There is a whole field of expertise involving the presentation of art, and they haven't done a great…
I wonder what the Artsy ( http://artsy.net/ ) folks think of this? Probably not much. After a certain amount, selling art is a relationship business and the seller's reputation is paramount. Artsy is very well connected and do a great job in their presentation.
I just don't get it, 20k for pieces like this: http://www.amazon.com/Firecracker/dp/B00E70BZ3K/ref=sr_1_22?... I wonder if people would appraise it quite as highly without context, and the painter's life story.
Art is a racket. Not art as the human endeavor of expression, or art as the appreciation of beauty. Art as a business is ABSOLUTELY a racket in the same way that dutch tulips were a racket once upon a time. Nothing wrong with that at all in my book.

That's a really silly idea. Context is as much a part of art as the actual piece itself.
Seriously??? Is this a joke? http://www.amazon.com/Crease-Constellation-2/dp/B00E67R24U/r...
