Contemporary Sculptures Part 2

You raise a very interesting aspect, namely the valuation of a piece of art. I am a simple art lover and a complete amateur at that. The article puts the value of an art piece in relation to the effort of creation. For me, in art the price has never really been related to effort of production. In the most rewarding case (for the artist) it is related to the joy it evokes in the buyer. Those super-high prices are probably just related to the expected price appreciation and potential for a capital gain. What is easier: Buying one piece of art for $ 10 million and sell it for 20 million $, or, to buy 100 pieces for $ 100'000 each and then sell them at for $ 200'000?

Hello @mariusfebruary is certainly a topic for discussion and so I am opening the space I agreed on for this type of topic.

I think that the way of curating and proposing art in the galleries should be restructured, an emerging movement against the warnings imposed by privileged sectors that make the works are overvalued overshadowing the talent of incredible artists, right here in steemit we can find many interesting artists who decided to give value to their artistic products through a social network that has the capacity to value with a token x work of art. This is a good start!

Obviously it will be much more profitable to buy a work at $10 million than to buy a series for less and double its price to make a profit.

Thank you very much for reading and taking the time to appreciate this humble contribution to the general foundations of art.
