The Bite of Artistic Value
In the obscure corners of the art gallery 'Masterpieces without Price,' a debate was raging about the true value of art.
The gallery owner, Andrey Discountseeker, always reminding himself that his name should speak for itself, gestured expressively in front of his clients:
– A painting should be expensive enough for the buyer to feel its value. If a painting is obtained for free, then, let's say, when moving to another country, the owner might even discard it, as it's worth nothing. No, the price should be a bit biting. Tangible.
The artist Alexeyev (let's call him that) couldn't resist commenting:
– There's a buyer for every painting. But I always wonder: if a buyer buys a more expensive painting – does it make it better for them? Or not?
– Yes, what's worth nothing is worth nothing. And when a painting is expensive, then it has a chance to become even more expensive – sneered the gallery owner.
– As a rule, you should sell for more. But unfortunately, a lot depends on the clientele. Artistic criteria won't help in such cases," Alexeyev interjected, looking around thoughtfully.
Discountseeker smirked:
– The border lies between 'The best is the enemy of the good' and 'You can't toast to every sneeze.'
In pricing, there are 'lower' and 'upper' limits.
The lower limit (LL) is determined by the artist's total expenses until the moment of transferring ownership rights to the work.
