About the price of art

• Price of art differs depending on subject matter, quality, rarity, demand and supply along with the artist international or National standing.
   

• A work of art is priced for the quality and uniqueness unlike fabric which is priced per meter. Works of art which are more attractive, esthetically pleasing and from the period of the artist acclaim with more attention to details generally command higher prices.
   

• Prices of late artists artworks are influenced by supply and demand and more desirable works command higher prices.
   

• Living artists price their creations. Apart from the cost of material and artist’s time, the price comprise the artist’s status and the years of ‘brush mileage'  and price may differ depending on quality, media hype, exposure and subject matter.
   

• Fine art is one of the most viable and pleasurable investments and generally, a top-quality work of art is worth the price you pay for. We recommend to build up your own knowledge (visit about buying art) and then follow your heart and search out the one you love, the best you can afford and most typical artwork of the artist you admire.

• We admire artists passion to create, their incredible insight, singular vision and generosity of their spirit to give us joy and continuing commitment to share talent with us. To all artists, from all of us, I say thank you.
   
• Purchase a work of art and invest in your future and Australian artists can make a living with their creations and also Australian and Aboriginal art can survive to tell the story to our future generations.
   
• Artists stimulates employment around the world, museums, restaurants, hotels, galleries, transport, shops, cafes and printing business. Art enhances our happiness and is vital to our self-endurance, frame of mind, consciousness, perception and our spirits. We travel to enjoy architecture and art, visiting galleries and museums. We benefit from the legacy of great artists, their art filters down through reproduction and through the way it influences others. Could our culture and our spirits survive without art?
