Go to as many galleries as you can bear - and look, look, look. You wouldn't buy a car or designer suit without having narrowed down your choices, looked at what else was on offer, and checked all the available sources. Buying art is a specialist activity and it is important to do research. Look at new art, but don't shy away from the older stuff: while you don't need a degree in art history, knowing a bit won't hurt. It is not enough to declare: "I know what I like." Good collectors know why they know what they like, and the best can put this into words.
