| Here's something interesting, an artist pricing his work, roughly, by the inch. This would leave someone like moi, working in the same size, over and over again, basically, the width and length of a computer keyboard, quite out of luck. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| So the artist above is selling his work by the inch, meanwhile, below, a call goes out for donated art to a "good cause" . However, this occurs to me. Few artists are pricing their work between $98 and $168 and if art is to be valued and considered valuable, how can one be expected to under-price their work? The above artist prices his 8 X 10 works at $2,100. If he donated a canvas this size, it would sell for only $68.00. Possible, there might be an auction and the art starts at this figure but even then, is it possible that the bidding would reach $2,100.00? I have no idea how the art world is reconciles this. |
