How much does a sound art investment cost?

Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it's up to you to help him or her out - a selection of the best answers will appear in Saturday's paper.

This week's question:

My partner has fallen in love with a limited edition print from a moderately well-known painter who died recently. The only problem is it costs £1,500. He's ready to buy it, and while I agree it's lovely I'm not so sure. Can art in this price range be a good investment, or will it be money down the drain?
