I am a huge fan of buying from local artists. I would like to try and buy a painting in Prague but everything I read is the painters on the bridge are outrageously expensive. I know that %26quot;expensive%26quot; varies by person. Does anyone know the range of prices for paintings on the bridge?
Thanks,
Patti

from about 200kc up over for a small one but a lot are prints and to be honest you pay over the odds because they are on the bridge
a lot of shops sell the same ones cheaper

There is a good selection at Havelska Market.
Not sure if they are any cheaper but you may be able to haggle if you think they are too expensive but I dont know if you will get anywhere as they are mostly sold by the original artist ,so I was told how true that is I cant say.

Don%26#39;t buy at the bridge or the Havelsky Trh (market) - they have the same stuff. Try some of the galleries, they sell local artists and you get really original pieces - not the usual %26quot;colourful, pleasing the eye pretty images of the magical Prague%26quot; that the artist paints tens identical a day. Preferably Prague in the snow, or the red roof cliche.
The galleries carry contemporary as well as older czech authors - prices ranging anywhere between 1000,- for original prints/graphics to thousands of crowns for paintings.
