About Art Prices of Living Artists
|
|
 The
vision of Galeria Aniela is to increase the awareness of Australian
artists cultural
contribution, and to build a better future.
When you purchase Art at Galeria
Aniela,
you make a valuable contribution to our mission of helping artists
to make a living with their creations and together we make a
difference.
Living artists set fair prices on their creations individually by
the merit. By pricing their work, artists aspire to make a living
with their creations and create unbiased market values.
Art galleries actively shape art prices by validating an artist's
career, while they support prices by maintaining market consistency
and protecting the value of a collector's investment.
 It
is standard practice across the art industry that an artist’s price
remains alike across galleries. If an artist is represented by a
gallery, the artist cannot sell the same value work on his own for a
lower price, as this would damage the gallery's credibility.
Maintaining a transparent and verifiable price list is vital for
both the artist and the gallery to build trust with high-end
collectors.
As an artist's career develops - such as holding museum exhibitions,
winning notable grants, or being acquired by prominent private
collectors - the gallery adjust the price point upward, often by
raising a pricing index.
Managing Negotiations:
While prices are generally fixed, galleries may offer confidential
concessions to major collectors or institutions to secure a sale and
build the artist's prestige, without penalizing the artist's net
payout.
Once an artwork is sold, its commercial value is largely determined
by the principle of supply and demand, and it can be managed by the
artist or the artist's primary dealer.

About Art Prices of Late Artists
|
|
.jpg) Artworks of late artists are traded at individual prices in the
prevailing art collector’s opinion. History play the essential role
of supplying attribution, establishing opinion and authenticating
what is offered on the market.
No
different than any market, a work of art is a commodity for which a
market is created and maintained by financially interested parties.
The market value of the artwork is derived from its exchange value,
the price a buyer pays for the artwork. Individual works of art are traded at individual prices. The value
placed on one artwork by the World Art Market may differ from the
critical value placed on the similar artwork or the same work at
different time and location.
The price of
artwork of outstanding rarity
and quality can exceed all reasonable expectations. Auction prices cannot be assumed to fairly represent the artworks
value.
You have to develop your eye for quality and use your own
sense of art value.
 Prices of art fluctuate and may differ by significant factor and
vary from item to item even by the same artist and size, in the
prevailing opinion of a collector.
No two objects are exactly the
same, prices and values vary being particular to each object and
other factors which all affect prices - such as the artist's
standing, the quality and artwork's condition,
provenance,
and exhibition history.
And, other seemingly unrelated elements may affect the
artwork value -

Art appraisals to a great extent, depend on the advice and
enthusiasm of a variety of specialized market analysts, curators,
museums and commercial galleries.
Artwork value is created by reputation of the seller and history
play the essential role of supplying attribution, establishing
opinion and authenticating works of art offered on the World Art
market.

Art valuation is the process of estimating the potential
market value of a
work of art
as a
financial valuation,
apart from an
aesthetic opinion, subjective views of cultural
value play a part as well.
To arrive at a specific monetary value involves deep
research and
collecting data from multiple sources:
-
Museums and National Galleries purchases
-
Corporate collectors’ purchases
-
Experienced art valuer opinion
-
Auction houses record prices
-
Commercial galleries sales
-
Curators

The
basic level of price determination, provides an estimate of the
current market value of a work of art, is to look through the eyes
of an art-speculator without taking into account the true value of a
work of art existence for the pleasure its gives.
The Research and investigation of a work of art have a particular
importance, firstly, to
authenticate the artwork and secondary, to value
the object.
|
|
|
The
following elements can affect the artwork value:
-
Is the
artwork
you own, a museum-quality?
-
Is the artwork
scarce?
-
Is the artwork
historically important, i.e. illustrated?
-
Has it an
influence or has it been influenced?
-
It is the
artwork representative of the artist?
-
Is the artwork
from the period of the artist high-acclaim?
|
|
|
Artwork value is enhanced by competition for the work, rarity as
well as the current trend, taste, publicity, beliefs and style.
The art market's participants and other limitations dictate the size
of the market and increase the risk that some items may be over or
undervalued.
Comparative techniques are, seeing the objects at hand, expert
opinions, investigation, study and the results of tests may also be
used, but establishing
provenance is essential.
The
purpose of tracing the
provenance of an
object or entity is to provide contextual and circumstantial
evidence for its
authenticity, the original production or
discovery, by establishing, its history, especially the sequences of
its formal ownership,
custody, and/or places of storage.
