Did you know you could get your own scrunched up, reproduction ball of paper via Martin's web site for just 150 pounds? Comes complete with protective cardboard box and shredded paper packing. Awesome! If you don't think about it, don't engage with it, and fail to notice it maybe people wouldn't call it art?

I totally agree artists that are "famous" for example Martin Creed (waste of space) he is getting credibility for scrunching up a ball of paper and gets 5,000 for it. Modern art is such a sham at times

i find it incredibile that a gallery with an ounce credibility would give any credibility to the sale of a blank canvas (on credible credit). heheif you can find people silly enough to buy a blank canvas then good luck to you. cheers

It would be nice if all blank canvas artworks were considered a joke but unfortunately some galleries take them seriously and give them credibility. I've seen them time and time again. My other works were certainly under priced but that's the reality of being an unknown artist.

i too thought that you had under priced the first two pieces. not my cup of tea, but way underpriced. however if you were to try to sell a blank canvas where i come from, i think you would be considered a joke and run out of town with a blank canvas protruding from your butt....now that 'would' be worth $1300 to some people.

The last one is a joke artwork - it's a swipe at minimalist art. However the points I make relating to that artwork are quite valid pricing considerations. If I could sell a blank canvas for $1300 dollars I'd quit painting and just sell blanks!

You didn't do anything! What the heck?! That's a blank canvas! What's with $1300?! Did anyone pay for it??? You're nuts!

The points I make in the third step are actually quite valid considerations that you might factor into pricing if you feel a particular work is a 'landmark' piece that could be of some importance in relation to your overall artistic development. Glad you found this helpful :)

This has been very helpful so thanks. I especially found the 3rd pricing step on thought and importance interesting. |
