The value of a work of art
The true value of art transcends the material realm. And yet, for
those of us who wish to own a work of art, it is necessary to
establish its material value. db Gallery de-mystifies the process of
setting the price for artwork.
Many people would say that the value of a work of art is determined
entirely by its appeal; the more that the artwork is appreciated, the
more that people are willing to pay to own it, and therefore, the greater
its value. While this is certainly true, it is also true that different,
similar works by a given artist may have equal appeal, and yet be priced
very differently.
When an artist sets the price for one of his works, there are two
factors that are considered in addition to the "appeal" of
the artwork: 1) the amount of time, material and labor that go into
the production of the artwork, and 2) what we might call its "exclusivity."
"Exclusivity" refers to whether the piece is an original artwork
or a reproduction, and how many copies or "versions" the artist
creates. The fewer the copies or versions that are available, the more
"exclusive" each one becomes, and the higher the price.
To learn more about the difference between an original artwork and
the different categories of reproductions, please visit our Art
by Category page. And for more information about how our art is
actually created and reproduced, please visit our Process
description.
And rest assured that you will always find the best values in art,
at db Gallery!
