The Austin Museum of Digital Art (AMODA) is a
non-profit institution that promotes access to and appreciation of
digital art. Currently AMODA is a nomadic institution, holding
exhibitions, showcases, lectures, youth programs and other events at
various locations around Austin, often in collaboration with other arts
and educational organizations. Ultimately, AMODA is envisioned as a
permanent venue for digital art -- a world class art museum in downtown
Austin, open to the public. Our goal is to make AMODA a leading center
in the community for art presentation, education and outreach.
Our
mission is to engage the public, educate the community and support
artists in the creation, understanding and appreciation of digital art.
Edward Jean Steichen (March 27, 1879 - March 25, 1973) was an American photographer, painter, and art gallery and museum curator.

In general, I recommend artists price their work as low as they can possibly bear to start out. Remember, it is more important to cultivate on-going relationships with dealers and consultants than to sell one piece.
Ultimately, it is better for the work to be out there than sitting in your studio. I believe art is a process, a verb, not a noun. And, part of the process necessitates that the work be exhibited, purchased and appreciated by others.
Remember, this is just a starting point. If you are fortunate enough to have a gallery representative, they should work with you in helping to determine a realistic price for you work. Ultimately, your prices will establish themselves as you start showing your work and getting a reaction.
Medium, size, complexity, cost of production and previous sales history, also play important roles in determining the final sales price. But the bottom line could just as easily be determined by how much an artist is attached to a particular piece.
an increase in price is only justified when this balance shifts…either the demand increases, or the supply decreases.
the work you present publicly should all be of the highest caliber and of equal value. If you are particularly attached to a particular piece and want to price it twice as much as the other work in the show, it is better to just mark the piece sold and keep it for yourself until your work increases in value to a point where the price you want is justified.
