Buying Norman Rockwell Paintings: The Ultimate Collector Dream

Both are worth lots of money and both should appreciate in value over the years. But that is where the similarities end.

Depending on your decor, you can't hang stock certificates on your wall like you can with a original Rockwell painting. At least I think the painting would look much better anyway.

With an original painting, you can see the brush strokes. This is next to impossible unless you are looking at the original. You get a much better feel of his art when you can look at the original paintings.

Occasionally a Rockwell painting turns up for sale. An original brings a high six figure price nowadays. Most people who own original Rockwells hold on to them.

A original Norman Rockwell is really a keepsake. He is not painting any more of them.

Beware of Fakes

I have seen what was advertised as an original Norman Rockwell painting of JFK on eBay. The starting bid was $2000. That would be such an incredible bargain if it was not a fake. However, I believe that it was a fake. No one in their right mind would sell original Rockwell paintings for that low price.
