Kieran - ArticlesArt Appreciation and Looking at ArtI am going to suggest ways to appreciate art and experience it n a way that is honest and fair to the viewer visiting art galleries, art exhibitions, and art museums and other art displays. Being an art viewer can be very fulfilling and enjoying but it also causes causes unease among those who don’t really know how to approach art because of all the uncertainty.
It’s important to acknowledge that I’m not providing a check-list of ways of looking at art but providing a guide for more engaging a Does Art Really Have an Owner?Lawyers pick sides, fights, justice, rights of absolutely any topic you can think of- drugs, trade, criminal, divorce, and even art. Generally, it’s a dispute over belonging, appropriation, and who has rights over something, in this case a work of art. Firstly this goes way beyond anybody’s amazing rhetoric skills because I don’t think anyone has a clear idea or definition of art since this changes all the time depending on the viewer, context, time period, and so on. Then there is the issue of Defining Cultural Value and how to use it to value art?When measuring something, I like to try and understand what it is I’m trying to measure and why. This task seems to have no straight answers and I don’t think it can ever be given a concrete conclusion, but we can still try and derive some information about the valuation of culture and how it can be used for art. Droit de Suite also known as Artist Resale RightsDamien Hirst was upset by the Van Gogh phenomenon where the artist never got to see the recognition of his art by the public or the supplementary monetary benefits his art would have in the future. This introduces the topic of droit de suite, which when translated from French means “the right to follow” otherwise known as the artist resale rights. This means that in future sales of an artwork, the artist is entitled to a percentage, a royalty of the final sale price as long as they’re living. Wim Delvoye Tattoo Art on Human Skin"It's art because it got sold" Wim Delvoye, a Belgian contemporary artist says. Is this really a factor for evaluating contemporary art? However, Rembrandt knew about it (he insisted he sell his prints from the first to the last copy rather than individually). Andy Warhol pretty much invented the art factory system if not refined the way it works, and today the artwork getting the most attention and discussion is undeniably the ones with the biggest price figures. So Delvoye is right in some se Online Art Auctions Concerns on Making them WorkIt’s apparent that the Internet is becoming an attractive and popular ground for businesses to use. Ebay created a virtual platform for buyers and sellers of various items to set the “World’s online market place“ but most people know it as an online auction system. Auctions are generally used to give value to items that have an ambiguous and uncertain value such as art, historic houses, prized dogs, jewelry, or anything so unique it doesn’t have a distinct value. How to Be an Art CollectorBeing an art collector requires the desire to own, research, chase down, and buy for the love of art. This can be a very engaging and fulfilling activity and anyone can be an art collector. Here is a short guide and some tips to get you started on this exciting hobby. The Marketing of the ArtistI get the impression that there is more and more talk about the success of an artist being associated with how much his or her art works get sold for. Or that recognition of an artist and the work goes hand in hand with a good marketing plan for people to get noticed. But then what happens to quality? Is there some sort of quality control put into place? Measuring the Value of ArtThe value of art- it seems to so many people that this question is unheard of, you can’t put a price on art right? It is true, value is subjective, but the reality is people put a price to art and they trade art as a commodity, and so we have to deal with it. Now whether good art has become synonymous to expensive art is a different question. In any case this article will try to shed light on the different factors that comprise the monetary value of a work of art as seen in an art auction.
