Book Description
How to Price Your Art is a comprehensive guide that enables visual artists to price their work confidently and with profit in mind. Whether you are new to pricing your art or have been an artist for years and are simply wanting to develop a pricing strategy for your art business, this book will give you everything you need. You can absolutely learn how to price your artwork with confidence inside the pages of this book. And I'd love to show you how, especially if you're still pricing your art based on what you "think" it's worth and constantly second-guessing yourself. Knowing how to price your art means the difference between barely making ends meet and actually making money with your art. It enables you to build your art business, create income and have the impact you dream of as an artist. It's the difference between an expensive hobby and a profitable business. If you're like most artists, knowing how to price your art is a constant frustration which takes the joy right out of creating. Add to that the confusion of trying to understand how things like where you live, the type of art you create and your experience level fit in to your pricing and it can be downright overwhelming! Thankfully, pricing your artwork doesn't have to be a mystery, anymore! Inside this book, I'll teach you: 7 Factors that Determine Art Pricing An Easy Pricing Formula for Pricing Your Art How to Make a Profit on Every Sale 5 Keys to Creating a Pricing Strategy Why Fear of Raising Your Prices is All In Your Head My Biggest Pricing Mistakes and How to Avoid Them Plus you'll be getting a copy of my Art Pricing Worksheet which will make pricing your art super easy for you. I'll also be covering important topics including: Why Uniqueness Commands Higher Prices How to Price for Retail, Wholesale & Consignment Perception Influences Pricing Accounting for Packing, Shipping & Taxes Where to Start If You've Never Sold Anything How to Create Multiple Price Points Knowing When to Increase Your Prices Should you list your prices on your website? Discounts & Bonuses Every day that goes by you're not pricing your art profitably is one more day that's costing you the time, money, freedom and impact you were designed to make in the world. The longer you keep doing this, the more money you're literally throwing down the drain.
Art Market Research
Author: Tom McNulty
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476613974
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
This book is for art market researchers at all levels. A brief overview of the global art market and its major stakeholders precedes an analysis of the various sales venues (auction, commercial gallery, etc.). Library research skills are reviewed, and advanced methods are explored in a chapter devoted to basic market research. Because the monetary value of artwork cannot be established without reference to the aesthetic qualities and art historical significance of our subject works, two substantial chapters detail the processes involved in researching and documenting the fine and decorative arts, respectively, and provide annotated bibliographies. Methods for assigning values for art objects are explored, and sources of price data, both in print and online, are identified and described in detail. In recent years, art historical scholarship increasingly has addressed issues related to the history of art and its markets: a chapter on resources for the historian of the art market offers a wide range of sources. Finally, provenance and art law are discussed, with particular reference to their relevance to dealers, collectors, artists and other art market stakeholders.

Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
The meteoric rise of the largest unregulated financial market in the world -- for contemporary art -- is driven by a few passionate, guileful, and very hard-nosed dealers. They can make and break careers and fortunes. The contemporary art market is an international juggernaut, throwing off multimillion-dollar deals as wealthy buyers move from fair to fair, auction to auction, party to glittering party. But none of it would happen without the dealers-the tastemakers who back emerging artists and steer them to success, often to see them picked off by a rival. Dealers operate within a private world of handshake agreements, negotiating for the highest commissions. Michael Shnayerson, a longtime contributing editor to Vanity Fair, writes the first ever definitive history of their activities. He has spoken to all of today's so-called mega dealers -- Larry Gagosian, David Zwirner, Arne and Marc Glimcher, and Iwan Wirth -- along with dozens of other dealers -- from Irving Blum to Gavin Brown -- who worked with the greatest artists of their times: Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, and more. This kaleidoscopic history begins in the mid-1940s in genteel poverty with a scattering of galleries in midtown Manhattan, takes us through the ramshackle 1950s studios of Coenties Slip, the hipster locations in SoHo and Chelsea, London's Bond Street, and across the terraces of Art Basel until today. Now, dealers and auctioneers are seeking the first billion-dollar painting. It hasn't happened yet, but they are confident they can push the price there soon.

Talking Prices
Author: Olav Velthuis
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691134030
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
How do dealers price contemporary art in a world where objective criteria seem absent? Talking Prices is the first book to examine this question from a sociological perspective. On the basis of a wide range of qualitative and quantitative data, including interviews with art dealers in New York and Amsterdam, Olav Velthuis shows how contemporary art galleries juggle the contradictory logics of art and economics. In doing so, they rely on a highly ritualized business repertoire. For instance, a sharp distinction between a gallery's museumlike front space and its businesslike back space safeguards the separation of art from commerce. Velthuis shows that prices, far from being abstract numbers, convey rich meanings to trading partners that extend well beyond the works of art. A high price may indicate not only the quality of a work but also the identity of collectors who bought it before the artist's reputation was established. Such meanings are far from unequivocal. For some, a high price may be a symbol of status; for others, it is a symbol of fraud. Whereas sociological thought has long viewed prices as reducing qualities to quantities, this pathbreaking and engagingly written book reveals the rich world behind these numerical values. Art dealers distinguish different types of prices and attach moral significance to them. Thus the price mechanism constitutes a symbolic system akin to language.

In this, the latest TEFAF report on the international art and antiques market, Dr Clare McAndrew of Arts Economics analyses the 47.4 billion global art trade in 2013.
