I am wanting to get into collecting famous paintings like Van Gogh's Starry Night. Can you buy paintings at art galleries or where can you buy them?

Do you mean paintings or prints of paintings.? Some small Galleries sell paintings but I am afraid you will not find anything by Van Gogh or any of his ilk for sake in a Gallery. They are sold at large Auctions for many millions of dollars or privately.

Do a google search for "art reproductions" and you'll get tons of websites where you can purchase them. As Firebrand said, if you want originals, you won't be able to purchase anything that's already famous like Starry Night, unless you maybe happen to be on a Forbes list! And a lot of them belong to museums that are not likely to give them up! Or, you could find an artist who seems to have a lot of potential and buy up their paintings now and hope that the value goes up.

You'd have to find out who owns them.

If you need to ask, you can't afford them anyway.
