Collecting Without Trying to Predict the Next Big Artist

Prediction is seductive because it turns uncertainty into a contest. It also narrows looking to signs that other people may later agree.

Career evidence can inform a purchase without becoming a forecast.

A collector can care about professional continuity, pricing coherence, and public record while refusing to model future fame.

The resulting collection may be less legible as a bet and more legible as a point of view.

Buy with enough documentation to understand the transaction and enough conviction to survive the absence of applause.
