ConditionThe condition of a work of art will play a role in its price. Works in perfect condition will be more expensive than works that have had restoration. Established artists.When it come to contemporary (new) art by established artists, you will often find that an artist either represents themself, or works through one gallery or agent that controls the price - thereby assuring that you will pay a similar price anywhere you go. Antique artWhen it comes to old or antique art, you should keep in mind that most artwork has a ’market value’. The dealer’s markup is predicated on how far below that value they can buy a particular work. MasterpieceIf you have found an artist’s masterpiece, the cost can be as much as 10 times what a typical work costs. But make sure it is considered a ’masterpiece’. ContentThe more ’elaborate’ a work of art is, the more expensive it will be. Example: if an artist usually paints images of a women in a garden and then paints one with 2 or 3 figures in a garden, the more ’elaborate’ one will be more expensive. Exhibited WorksIf it turns out that a particular work was shown in an important exhibition (Paris Salon, National Academy, Royal Academy) this will increase its value. Subject MatterPeople typically want to buy what an artist has become famous for. The signature image of an artist will usually command a higher price - but this is not always the case. Hard CostsKeep in mind that beyond the actual cost of a work, there is also the costs of cleaning/restoration, framing, shipping/transportation and travel that need to be considered. ProvenanceThe provenance (past owners) can play a role in the price of a work of art. Period or DatingWhen a work of art was created will also have an effect on its price. Works produced at the height of an artist’s career will usually be more expensive. Unknown ArtistsWhen looking at ’unknown’ artists, the gallery nneds to consider its costs and expenses associated with exhibiting and handling the art. MarkupMarkups vary from gallery to gallery. Remember that each gallery has different expenses/costs to cover... and every gallery is in business to make a profit. Prices at ARTinaClick.com are 30%-50% less than traditional gallery prices. FrameMake sure you ask if the frame that the work is shown in is included in the price. Most galleries that offer historical works of art include the frame in the price. Many galleries that deal in new works of art, do not. SizeWhen considering a work of art you should keep in mind that, all things being equal, the larger the painting the more expensive it will be. Oversized WorksWorks that are oversized (extremely large) will usually be priced at a more reasonable level since fewer people can acquire them. Keep in mind that with important or historical works, this is not always the case. BudgetHow much do I spend on a work of art? That all depends on what you are comfortable spending. Some people look at their artwork as investments ... others look at it as just decoration. At ARTinaClick.com, we offer works in vaious price ranges that is sure to fit any budget.
