[QUOTE="Drawmack, post: 631259, member: 4981"] As far as the thread that inspired this thread: Dr. Midnight I do not think that this: I the most diplomatic way to begin a post. I am sure is was intended as a gest, matter of fact I found it amussing. However I understand sarcasm and not all do. Reading this right off the top could set someone defensive and their posts reflect that. As far as the price of art goes, it is much the same as my job, squishy. If a client sees the work happen they are happy to pay for it. For example would you be more willing to pay $100 for a poster sized piece or an 8x5 piece. Well what if the poster sized pice didn't have a whole lot of intricate detail and was mostly broad flowing strokes (I'm not an artist I'm basing this on tatoos and how they are priced so I could be wrong) therefore the big piece took less time then the intricatly detailed 8x5. Another thing to consider is the materials. What if the 8x5 was done on high quality canvas and it mounted in a golden oak frame while the poster sized on is on posterboard? What about the paints used as well? One school of though it that art is worth whatever the person selling it says it is worth. There is absolutely no way for anyone other then the artist to quantify the value of a painting. The other school of though is that art is worth whatever people are willing to pay for it. This hold up better with classics like Rembrant. Though some popular artists fit into this school as well. I write computer programs for a living and people assume that with programs if it looks simple it is simple. I can easily get a couple hundred dollars for a spinning logo but people don't want to pay for the administration area that took the real time to program. It is precieved value. Unless you can come up with a way to quantify the price of each individual piece some people will never see the value. [/QUOTE]
