The closer I get acquainted with the art business, the more convinced that no over-painting is not, rather there is a deficit.
 The thesis of "overproduction" is based on several false postulates:
1. Any movement of a brush on canvas is a painting that can and should be sold. Wrong.
2.Obektivnaya assessment of the quality of painting is impossible, critics of muddy water, because of this pricing comes from the ceiling. Wrong.
3. The artist has only one desire-to make as many pictures and sell them immediately as expensive as possible. As a rule, is not true for a good artist.
4. Galleries packed with all the works of artists and are just waiting for a buyer. Wrong.
5. Collectors are buying the work, so at the first price increase to send it to the auction. Wrong.
 
 The reality is that quality works of art can produce a fairly limited range of masters. The money is not the main motivation for them. For example, in the U.S. average price of a little-known paintings profhudozhnika 10.5 thousand dollars for sale of one painting a month for 10 thousand covers all normal expenses, and sell 5 paintings per month artist does not have the money nowhere to be a virgin, unless he decides to live a different life not an artist.
In the more well-known artists with little name price picture 20 thousand dollars and they need to sell paintings even less for a normal life.
This is what we are seeing Peter Doig paintings did not rush to stamp on a wave of interest in him, live klasssiki type of Jasper Johns also did not produce long. Legend of the enormous productivity of Picasso and tens of thousands of pictures of his hands is a myth. Online directory now has over 20 thousand works including paintings, ceramics, and up to sketch in a notebook.
 Once logged in a large and well-known galleries in the same San Francisco - have a huge list of authors with whom gallery works. And half of the gallery zero work - all sold and no new revenue. And it's not just superstars, it refers to the normal average level of 20 authors thousand dollars and if there is, of nightmarish quality, tons of e on thee, my God, that we have more useless.
 We go to commercial galleries, selling Russian-sponsored a salon of poor quality, the owners say, are not good, sometimes have to beg the artist to the thread that wrote to us, nothing to sell.
And let us visit the forum section on buying and selling, that abundance?
This is my opinion.
