5 Top Tips - How To Appreciate The Price Of An Artwork:

The sale price of an artwork is not just plucked out of the air! The artist and gallerist will consider several things when pricing an artwork:

The Cost of Materials: Canvases, paints, varnish, gold leaf all need to be taken into consideration. The larger the canvas the more materials will be used.

The Quality of the Materials: Like anything, there are varying degrees of quality for canvases, paints and frames, so these will be costed out.

Where the Artist is in their Career: An Emerging Artist (someone who has been a professional artist for over 5 years), an Award Winning artist or a Best selling artist will charge more for their artwork.

The Cost of the Frame: If the artwork is framed, the type of frame, the glazing used, and the size are all considered.

At An Art Fair And Can't See Eye To Eye With Your Partner?

We've all been there, you love an artwork and he/she doesn't feel the same! .....

Then you need our 5 Top Tips On Compromising!

1. Put Your Case Forward: Talk to each other. What do you like/dislike about it

2. Be Prepared To Go With The Flow!: If you are not keen - can you live with it? A little bit of give goes a long way!

3. Become Friends First: Take your time to get to know the artwork. Really look at it, ask questions? It may turn out to be the love of your life!

4. What Do You Agree On?: What other things have you agreed on? Did you have to work on that decision? What did you do?

5. Stalemate? Agree To Disagree...but wait! : If you can't agree, it happens! Look at other artworks by that artist, you may find something you both like.

Remember, it might seem great to have a partner where you agree on everything - or would that be a bit boring! Who would take you out of your comfort zone!.

Are You Getting It Right In The Bedroom?...⁠
⁠...Hanging Your Artwork That Is!⁠
⁠
Very often, it is either too small or too high!⁠
⁠
Here's how to get the artwork above your bed right..⁠
⁠
* The width of the artwork should be 60-80% of the bed width i.e. the width of a king size bed is 150cm, so the width of the artwork should be 90-120cm.⁠
⁠
* If you have a headboard, the bottom of the artwork should be 20-25cm above it.⁠
⁠
* If you don't have a headboard, the height of the artwork should be 145-152cm from the floor to the centre of the artwork.⁠

Have you got a question about hanging an artwork?

We all like to stick to what we know and feel comfortable with in life – but sometimes that can become a bit boring, a bit safe!

Yes, a beautifully executed landscape or still life is great – but does it stir up some deep rooted emotion! – will it push the boundaries of your comfort zone? Some people find abstract art hard to swallow - here's how to acquire the taste!
