Who buys artwork and why?
I went to one of those fundraisers last night... you know the ones, where they auction off artwork (among other items) to raise money for some worthy cause. As an artist, do you ever donate to these things? How does it go? Last night was not a great night for art, though it was a very fun, well planned gala, full of great people. There were very nice works of art, but for whatever reasons, there was not a lot of interest in the auction in general, and the art did not sell for much. Now, this was all for charity, but watching this made me wonder, when and where can you really make money selling your artwork? The market for artwork seems so narrow and tricky to maneuver. Navigating is such a guessing game. It seems that so few are truly successful. To achieve success, it seems, you have to be able to have the answer to the question, "Who buys artwork and why?". Is your artwork answering this question? |
