Of course, the situation has changed, but I think that the secret of success - trust your taste and buy as soon as possible. Thus, the risk to which the collector is inversely proportional to the means necessary to compile a good collection.
I think also that the purchase of young artists who have not yet received wide publicity, more worthy, than to buy pictures of artists who have hyped others))

I'll make its own contribution to the debate.
First, it seems to me that there is always a number of artists, which has "not noticed". For example, the now fashionable in the Sixties can be called Slepysheva, Zhutovski, guest book, Belyutin school and a dozen more names that are today facing very little money, but they certainly go up in price, while being a really good masters. This collector should not only be for sale at auction, but is exploring time trends, mutual interest in his artistic medium or direction. Thus, and can not find those "last", which would eventually become the "first".
Secondly, everyone here for some reason only talk about an expensive painting, but there still exists and graphics, immeasurably cheaper, but no worse than oil. What brilliant collection of charts collected, say, the late Collectors Semen Yakovlevich Feldstein or Alexander Zavolokin! They collected a penny, incidentally. And today the graphics are quite reasonable, because many moneybags despised, they need that richer.
Thirdly, it is important to understand that the collection - it is not "a lot" and "conceptually." Today, it's not hard, and many can afford to collect, say, two dozen pictures of the Leningrad school of the thirties-forties, and it would be a collection, which over time will cost money, and, more importantly, cause an increasing concern.

But all this is possible only in one case - if you really carried away at the direction, which decided to collect, if you really will like. Collect this collection, guided only by motives of interest, in my opinion, impossible.
