Artist continuously debate the value of art. Is it in the creation, the object, the eye of the artist, the customer or those darn judges? Maybe we should come up with a formula. At least half goes the joy of creation and what you think its worth.
Another 40% to the buyer, of course you want to sell it before you die so that hopefully it avoids a family condemning it to the $5 table at the garage sale.
Finally, we'll leave 10% for the judges at the various shows and of course those wonderful Gallery owners. I like the formula because if your love what you do and then market it decently you get a 90%. I always loved A's (anything above 90%)in school because they meant my dad would be happy, not to mention that i wouldn't get grounded and loose my car privileges. Just can't seem to shake those adolescent values.
