I'm afraid, just not every artist wants to know how much it really costs and a similar auction of some sober. We had to convince artists to cut prices to the point that you can see in the catalog now. Most have a clear position on the issue of pricing - their work will be sold for a price that suits their own and. No other way. And to put a starting price of $ 20 one, while not in a hurry. With rare exceptions, the ambitions are inversely proportional to age, and artistic skills.
Samvel you very correctly noticed, this is the "initiative." We are driven, above all, curiosity. I wonder what would happen, the commercial side in second place. You are also right in saying that "today the artist thinks about his progress," and sometimes it seems that it's the only thing he thinks about. Trendy, a desire to be "in the ear" have much more weight than just being able to work in peace. As to the weakness of the work, we loyal to their selection. And not because I do not see that the works are weak, and not to take on the role of judges, even judges the market. It is quite possible that the modern buyer, as opposed to us, looking for something else in the works, rather than the level of the art of painting. So check it out.
