You can insure your cels, sure. But are you sure
the common burglar sees a cel as something
precious and not just as a campy cartoon pic?
I think unless an artwork can clearly be
recognized as a valuable treasure by a known
artist and NOT just some cartoon animator,
robbers don't waste their time and risk their
safety stealing framed goods.
My mother works in a rather rich environment.
Most of her colleagues collect art and all have
a PC and a Hi-Fi installation. And Brussels is
the city of burglary. They have ALL (except us,
WE're smart ppl who have a dog) been robbed -
and it was always the PC and high tech that was
stolen, not some decoration.
Frankly - most ppl who're not familiar with
manga/anime will prpably find cels to be tacky,
sissy cartoon "art" for girls and violent little
boys. They won't waste their time on that. |
