The Political Art World

What is art if not a commodity ? Perhaps its easy to exploit the art world, even more perhaps in a city such as ours. What artist does not believe in museums political games? With paintings made by local artist valued and perhaps selling at $300.00 to $5000.00 a piece, what gallery or museum wouldn't want a 20 to 30 percent piece of that? State funding, local funding , tax payers in the loop, its an educational cover and underneath its skin the starving artist.

Can anyone be an artist, and how do you price your art and why ? Its easy to make believe your art is $2000.00, its perhaps as easy as finding a buyer who believes its worth much more? Art is funny that way.. Splitter splatter a ten minute master piece. Want a series ? Splitter splatter some more, 20 imitations of the first splitter splatter. Can you define your art or is it too complex and how do you price it then ? How long will it last, is it of the highest quality ?

I am a famous painter, like it says in my my space page.

Art openings seem to be great only until the bottles of wine run dry yet so many out there fanatics of the art world who've never bought a single piece of original art.

Support your local artist......he he
