To be honest, I kinda like the free expression of the splatters and drips. And, as I have been learning in my business class, value is an entirely subjective term. People are shocked that this painting sold for $50,000. Sometimes the value of a piece is not based on what the artist or gallery thinks it’s wort, but how much the buyer is willing to pay. I think this is a lesson for all emerging artists, for they are the ones who tend to undervalue their work the most.
Make the buyer want your work more than you want to keep it. Learn to sell your work the right way. Learn the words and phrases necessary to make the connection between buyer and art. It’s not selling out. It’s not being greedy or capitalistic. It’s getting your art- your message, voice, idea, thought, belief, soul- out there and doing its job. It’s making people happy, think, intrigued,changed,talking, looking, seeing, understanding. For bad or for worse.
