Forum : Art Face Off :: View topic - Pricing Your Art - 0 views

  • 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.
  • * What is the number and quality of the venue of group and solo exhibitions? * Are the shows all local or spread out nationally or even internationally? * Are there any museum shows? * Does the artist have any critical published reviews? * What kinds of publications and who are the writers? * Have any catalogs been done in conjunction with any of the shows? * What is the artists sales history? * Is there a long list of collectors? * Are the collectors mainly private collectors, or are there public institutions listed? * Any permanent museum collections?

Art Community & Forum : Art Face Off :: Top 10 Reasons Why Galleries Reject Artists - 0 views

  • Most artists harbor the fantasy that if they could only find one art dealer that loved and believed in their work, their career would be set. They secretly believe that there exists a special person that can catapult them to fame. Many artists spend most of their careers searching for "the perfect gallery." And, as all quests towards perfection, it is never ending. If they already have a gallery, it's not good enough; if they are looking for their first gallery, they dream about the moment when someone sets eyes on their work and offers them a solo show immediately. The harsh reality of the situation is having a gallery love your work, is only one very small part of what goes into the decision to represent an artist.
  • From a gallery's point of view, adding an artist to their stable is much like adding a stock to one's portfolio. There are many complicated factors to take into consideration, and liking the "stock" usually has very little to do with the decision.
  • Too Experienced

  • Too Inexperienced
  • Too Difficult
  • the artist and the gallery need to have a level of trust and comfort that will guarantee honest communication. If a gallery perceives you as being a difficult person to work with, they tend to veer away.
  • Too Cheap
  • Too Expensive
  • Prices are established by the law of supply of demand (Read Pricing Your Art). If a gallery feels they can not price your work fairly and still make a 50% commission, they will not be willing to take a chance on you.
  • Too Different
  • Too Similar
  • A gallery looks at the group of artists they represent, much like an artist looks at a painting. It is not so much the individual artist that is considered, but, rather, how that art fits into the existing group.

van Gogh's Letters - Unabridged - 0 views

  •  
    I borrowed a book of van Gogh's letters from a local library, and what can I say, I'm not only totally fascinated by him, but feel so bad when reading the last letter he wrote his brother before his death. His artwork and writing both are greatest treasure an artist can't live without! Ian
