Original art at Art of NOMA starts at MX$2,363 and the middle of the catalogue sits at about MX$30,600, so most budgets buy something real: a signed print under MX$6,000, a small original painting from about MX$9,000, and a wide choice of paintings from MX$15,000. Every figure below comes from the public catalogue as it stood on 30 October 2026, and every price is shown on the work’s page, never “on request”.

What does original art cost at Art of NOMA?
We read the full works catalogue on 30 October 2026 and grouped every work that has a listed price into five bands. The count leaves out works by JoCa. Because the lowest price is MX$2,363 and the highest MX$311,837, a single “average” would hide the shape of the list, so the table shows how many works sit in each band and what they are.
| Price band | Works | Artists | What it is made of |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under MX$6,000 | 17 | 6 | 17 prints |
| MX$6,000 to 14,999 | 21 | 6 | 11 paintings, 7 prints, 3 sculptures |
| MX$15,000 to 29,999 | 66 | 19 | 56 paintings, 4 prints, 4 photographs, 2 sculptures |
| MX$30,000 to 59,999 | 63 | 20 | 58 paintings, 4 photographs, 1 coloured-pencil work |
| MX$60,000 and above | 45 | 21 | 43 paintings, 2 photographs |
Two things stand out. First, the catalogue is not a pyramid with a few cheap works at the bottom: the bands from MX$15,000 to MX$59,999 hold 129 of the 212 works, which is about three in five. Second, the lowest band is made only of prints, so under MX$6,000 you are choosing among editions, not unique paintings. That is not a flaw; it is how printmaking works, and the next section explains what to check.

What can you buy for under MX$6,000?
Seventeen works, all prints, by six artists. The cheapest are three prints by Daniel Stara, Over The Bridge Print, Age of Surveillance Print and Eclipsed Village Print, at MX$2,363 each. Prints by Daniel de Polignac and Alexandra Connolly, among others, sit at MX$3,761, and Jorge Tellaeche’s Perdiendo la forma 2 Print is MX$4,725.
At the top of this band is Karaoke Print by Taeko Nomiya, a 35 × 50 cm print at MX$5,651. The artist is also in the catalogue at Taeko Nomiya’s artist page, where you can see the other works that carry that name.
What do you get at this price? The same things that come with every work in the catalogue: a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist, hand packing and full insurance for shipping. What you do not get is a one-of-a-kind object, so check the work’s page for how the print is made and whether it belongs to an edition before you buy.
What does MX$6,000 to MX$15,000 buy?
Twenty-one works by six artists, from MX$9,450 to MX$14,175. This is the lowest band where original paintings appear: 11 of the 21 works are paintings, alongside seven prints and three sculptures.
The painting in this guide’s main image, Mázatl by Roti Martínez, is a 50 × 40 cm work at MX$11,340, and the same artist has a page at Roti Martínez on Art of NOMA. Pepe Reyes’s prints start at MX$9,450 in this band, and one sculpture, Johanna El Zelah’s Positivamente Tóxica #4, is listed at MX$10,395.
For a first original, this band is where many collectors start, because a painting in a size that fits a wall is within reach and the price is still a figure you can plan around. If the work you like is above your number, ask about a payment plan before you walk away; we explain how those work below.
Where does most of the original painting sit?
Between MX$15,000 and MX$59,999. The 129 works in these two bands come from 29 different artists, and nearly nine in ten of them are paintings. This is where a collector can compare styles, sizes and artists at similar prices instead of settling for the only work that fits a budget.
The lower of the two bands, MX$15,000 to MX$29,999, includes Kissers by Tori Pounds, a 30 × 30 cm painting at MX$18,900, and Un Poema by Jordi Alós, a 20 × 20 cm painting at MX$24,569. See more from the first artist on Tori Pounds’s artist page. The upper band, MX$30,000 to MX$59,999, starts with Flores I by Paloma Ulacia at MX$30,145.
Size matters here, and so does the artist’s story. Two works with the same price can be very different objects, so read the dimensions and the artist’s page together before you compare them.
What changes for works above MX$60,000?
The catalogue thins out and the spread widens. Forty-five works cost MX$60,000 or more, from MX$66,148 to MX$311,837, and they come from 21 artists. Forty-three are paintings and two are photographs, and the larger formats cluster here.
A higher price does not mean a better work for you. It usually means a larger canvas, more time in the studio or an artist whose work has been shown and sold for longer. If you are weighing a purchase at this level, our free art advisory can talk through the options with you, and it is worth reading what a certificate of authenticity means for collectors before you commit.
What does the price include besides the artwork?
Quite a lot, and none of it is hidden. Each work page states a price in Mexican pesos; there is no “price on request”. Each work ships with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Every work is hand-packed to professional art-handling standards, and every shipment is fully insured for its full value. Most works are dispatched within five to seven business days, because originals are crated to order, and shipping goes worldwide.
If you are in Mexico City you can collect your work in person, free of charge, by appointment. If you are buying from another country, read our guide to buying art from abroad first. If the full price is more than you want to pay at once, we arrange payment plans directly, usually as a deposit that reserves the work while you pay the balance over an agreed period.
Where you buy matters too. The Art Basel and UBS Survey of Global Collecting 2026 found that 29% of the high-net-worth collectors it surveyed preferred dealers as their purchasing channel, with artist-direct sales at 19%. When you buy original art online from a gallery, you are using the route most surveyed collectors say they prefer, with a person to answer questions in English or Spanish.
A practical way to use the bands is to work backwards from the wall. Decide the space and the budget first, then open the catalogue and look at the band that matches. If three works in that band appeal to you, compare their dimensions, their medium and the artist’s page, and then ask a person about the one you keep returning to. The Art Basel and UBS survey found that 43% of the collectors it asked named paintings among their first three purchasing areas, so buying a painting first is a very common path.
