I personally think that it might be time to rethink how we sell art.<br />I think that as long as people enter galleries with an expectation of spending 'proper' money a discourse can be entered into about price.

I've got to admit I always undervalue my art, calculating it's price on the type of medium, cost of frame/mount, the gallery's percentage, and a bit of pocket money for me to invest in upgrading my equipment. If I'm honest I also 'load' the price a little depending on the gallery location, and the expectation of the clientele viewing the work. A piece of work exhibited at the Bristol RWA may have an extra zero on the price compared to the same piece at, for example, Poole...<br />What I never do is value a piece on what I think it's worth as art, but always in terms of the cost of creation...<br />Perhaps I need an agent? ;-)Martyn Gleadennoreply@blogger.com
