7. Speculative factor (games market agents to increase)
If we trace the relative importance of these factors during the formation of the art market, interesting picture emerges:
if during the period of market all revolve around one factor, in the era of modernism prevailed 1, 2, 5, taken in a different order, but now mostly dominated by factors 5, 6, 7, and for sovriska - 6 and 7.
This means that the artist. sovriska market becomes indifferent to the professionalism and talent (as confirmed by theorists, in private. B.Groysom) to become the arena is arbitrary manipulation of the leading players.
Hierarchy and sovriska prices are in such an atmosphere is not based on the quality and intrinsic value, but on the basis of archives (service records biographical lists precedents sales) - which are created and controlled by the same players - as well as the suppression of non-branded hard art.
Such tactics are slowly but surely eroding the branch that holds the market - rooted in the masses the idea of objective value of art.
Layer of intricate tattoos can not forever hide bare ass king. Price bubbles inevitably burst.
It is clear that the art market needs to be reformatted.
If he can not revive the evaluation criteria of modernism, there an alternative market, whose task will be to restore confidence in the audience (consumer) to art.
For this new market should be renewed emphasis on the quality of pictures and objects on the talent of the artist, as well as the artistic education of the masses, on the formation of the social environment that can accept new (forgotten old) priorities in the arts (this work is a long history of on-Artinvestment our joint efforts of its members
)
Obviously, Neomodernism can not just continue your line of development: the idea of the avant-garde, gryunderstva exhausted. As a concept, is nothing new under the sun.
But that there is always a new and truly eye-interest - is a strong artist, strong work.
(I was amazed that at Arsenal from 2012 youth baldela quality facilities grandparents modernist quenching than their peers from work, fed with milk postmodernism).
The focus should be shifted from the painter. trends and historical data to individuals (outside the lines) and atomic components of the market - specific works that are ranked by Fineart-criteria.
Accordingly, the refinement of these criteria and decide on the applicability of their objectivity and become one of the priorities for the critics and theorists.
Coordinate system for the assessment of the internal quality "netlenki" may be different.
Actually, this article was born out of reflections on how he could rely on the new modernism, and whether it will fit in his grandfather's chest.
Perhaps something amiss, but that's a different subject - there and write about it.
Back - to the future! )
