As the Director of KAB Gallery, I’ve had the pleasure of working with art collectors all over the world. But recently I’ve noticed something exciting – many of my new clients are coming from Austin, Texas.

The housing market in Austin has been booming, and with it comes the opportunity to make smart investment moves. If you’re in your stunning new home pondering how to dress those walls with something that adds value and style, it is the right time to buy original Australian art. Collectors in Austin, and indeed right across the United States, are getting amazing value in the process, nabbing those must-have originals they may have never had the opportunity to have previously.

Right now, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Australian dollar is heavily in your favour. That means the price you see for an artwork at KAB Gallery in Australia is already a steal—and with the current conversion rates, it becomes almost too good to pass up. It’s the kind of deal that savvy buyers are jumping on before others realise the value they can get.

START SHOPPING

If you’re an Austin homeowner or property investor, now is the perfect time to consider expanding your collection with original Australian art. At KAB Gallery, we specialise in highly sought-after works by some of Australia’s top contemporary artists. Whether you’re looking for a statement piece for your home or an artwork with long-term investment potential, the strong US dollar gives you a unique edge in this market.

Recently I’ve been working a lot of collectors from the United States, mainly in the Austin and Philadelphia areas. It’s been a fun and exciting process working with these smart collectors who have already seized the opportunity to fill their homes with exclusive Australian pieces that can’t be found elsewhere in the US market. They’re loving not only the exclusivity of these original artworks but it is such a positive to see how the quality and distinct styles are appreciated. Not to mention the unbeatable price thanks to the current exchange rates too.

Imagine adding an original Australian piece to your home – an artwork that could appreciate in value over time – all while knowing you made a smart investment because of the favourable dollar conversion. It’s no wonder savvy Austin collectors are looking to Australia for their next acquisition.
