Although I rarely do it,(I wish I would try more)I see no problem with asking about making an offer on artwork.For the most part,the price put on artwork is very subjective and not always based on a cost/% profit basis.I have two art galleries in my building and prices on some the original paintings knocked me over.One of my tenants could paint 3 or 4 landscape paintings a day and I would see prices that were anywhere from $500 to $5,000.It's worth what people are willing to pay I guess.Make an offer,if they are insulted I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
