Artist VS art for sale

A drop in sea water, or a pebble in a mountain, if you can feel it though or hear it, it might be noisy at one time or pleasant at other times. Or .. you may not feel it at all!. 

There are tons of artists who make art in every countable second, so many of them who talk art, live art, dream art, practise art, and their art really good. they aim to find their own way to market or show their works between the hustle and bustle and chaos inside the artists circle with so many considerations that could be the responsible result of lifting up and fame some of them. 

Well this is the case! I remember one of the book I have read many years ago when it was first published, it grabbed the attention of the art world. It's called - Seven Days In the Art World - By Sarah Thornton. This is one of the remarkable books that influenced a lot of people's interest in the art world, I have to mention here that this book is not the book that is going to change the artist's life, in addition there are other books in the market that talk specifically about the hidden and unseen fields and halls to reveal some secrets in purpose of education and raise awareness of the artists and the art collectors. 

Let me go back to the book, the author in this book didn't only exhibit the art world venues through displaying them in their conventional hierarchy, on the contrary she literary helped to highlight and characterize every venue as if she is trying to simplify the complexity of it and in some parts she exposed opinions, discussions, places, celebrities, discoveries to the preferable artworks, or artists. in nutshell, you are going to know the art world through the professionals who are in control of it. 

Nevertheless, there is much similarity between the above mentioned and if you are familiar and following the stock market exchange news, you will definitely have a feeling of what's going on in the art world. Power and authority have been given and made by the richest and who would not only did their own diligent by working day and night and who would not only think of ideas, and would not only convert these ideas into reality, they are rocket stars who think different than the other in their industries, their power and authority bigger and stiffer in a way nothing would diminish or weaken it unless if they wanted to. 

In the opposite direction, in everyday basis, you see new investors entering the stock market bidding with their own money, ideas and businesses to experience anger, stress and most of the times losses and then they leave to disappear. Collaboration might rescue them if they are lucky enough and their business and functionality could convince some of the big heads in the power and authority sectors. 

you are probably knows about penny stocks, you can buy them now and wait and then wait and don't forget to check on the companies how they're doing, if they are still in the market or not, or if they are making any profits. Some companies continues operating and functioning even they don't make any profits, check on them, they might be working in developing and improving the quality of their performances and the production line. The ups and downs and the digital indicators don't always reflect the reality and gives you the actual weigh and value of the companies in their industrial sectors especially if the economical value of the industry is very huge in comparison to the local economy, therefore to the international economy. in another world try to find out where they are!. 

Until now, I think I explained enough about the artist VS artwork for sale. In general good artists know how to value themselves before somebody else does, they see themselves through their art, good artist don't compare themselves to others, because by the years of performing and making art, they already set their own standard that distinguish them from others. 

I see art as commodity, in spite of the fact that not everybody see it the same as me. but as long as it's up for sale, it's a commodity just like anything else and it's going to wait for somebody or anybody to buy it. Most of the buyers buy art because they like it, regardless of what it is and who made it, as long as it looks good on their walls. some others buy art because they like the artist, some artist are really lovable, they are gifted with irresistible personality that could be the reason for their fame and make their art salable. 

We live in an open world, where everything is exposed, so art that came out of it, is to reflect and uncover the reality of it. As a result, living artists worth the best attention and support, because simply without them working on making and producing art, the art world won't be exist.
