Artists such as invasion

[Fed]

The forum participants have begun to worry-how many artists lives in Russia, and how much they produce paintings.
Opinions are as follows:

In my estimation, is regularly employed artists in Russia from 10 to 20 thousand. And perhaps their performance, I would estimate a 5-10 paintings a year. On average, obtained more than 100 thousand pictures a year. If they were all sold, then a day to be sold approx. 300 pictures.

These are my calculations: the Samara branch of the Union of Artists-126, say - that almost did not take the young. Ie can be safely total figure Samara professional and amateur artists to take the 600 souls. In terms of population, in Russia, 70,000 artists. If they navayal neplodovito to 50 paintings a year, for 20 years = 70,000,000 paintings. And then there are the CIS, ie 120,000,000 just in time "independence." And all draw, draw. Ecological catastrophe.

I would divide your result by 200, would get quite a reasonable figure of 600 thousand units over 20 years, or 30 thousand per year

And then there was a key argument:

Sorry, we do not know the American statistics on the subject, but it certainly is.

 But! We know the American statistics (which they do not know us).

"The National Endowment for the Arts USA has released 140-page report on the status of artists of the country, reports Associated Press. According to the study, "Artists in the labor force: 1990-2005", about 2 million Americans consider themselves artists.
Medium income American artist is $ 34,800 - considerably below the average for professionals.
NEA also found that the number of artists in the United States has nearly tripled since 1970. Number of designers who make up almost 40 percent of the number of artists increased to around 780,000 in 2005 from 600,000 in 1990.
 "If you look at the statistics, artists represent one of the main occupations in the American economy."

If we extrapolate the number of artists in the U.S. on Russia (and what it is), it turns out that:
- Artists in Russia, 1.000.000 people
-CIS - 1.900.000 people
The average salary is the Russian artist should be $ 900, a Ukrainian-$ 500. Now it is easy to calculate the cost of the painting as the artist himself (depending on performance) and the buyer. I would estimate the maximum-450 - Russia, 250 - Ukraine.

As you can see, even if we take the minimum number of pictures in 5 pcs /year (the opinion fabosch), you still get the artists of the CIS have made over 20 years at least 200.000.000 paintings.

So it is everywhere except Moscow and Kiev on prof.hudozhnikov the middle row.
But the good investment performance should be costly.
Freebie ended.

on the average number of prof.hudozhnikov

artcol this is where you see professional artists the average number? All the geniuses and pioneers, fighters for truth and for the color or with imperialism. And if you meet the modest and the work will be worthy and not even the middle row.

Y-yes very optimistic. Here enclose a screenshot of one "artist" amateurs, whom I know personally, are trying to sell their work on the $ 1000 and above, there is no progress or do not know. Zaregistirirovan at all, without exception sites for online sale. Genuinely considers himself a pioneer of a new direction in abstract painting. And there are many.

Investment does not work "must."
They stand in line with sales statistics behind them.

And if the statistics do not, it-venture attachments, and on-prostetski attempt a dangerous gamble.

"Investment" - is not what the statistics of sales. Today, there are statistics, tomorrow - no. Sales statistics - is symptomatic.

Iside, but who is it?

artcol, formerly an unemployed guy my age, I decided to go to the artists, because I realized that the artifact can make millions (been reading reports from auctions), works part-time schedule of the designer on the computer.
Do not ask about the name because their name - are legion.

But I think the typical de Stael.
And then again, so pay for that $ 1000 a rather unwise.

Here's the first thing that came across, and you can still pick up more precisely.

Very.
Here, these amateurs, abstract dime a dozen, all nationalities, are selling to offices and hotels for $ 100, and then even less, and this site currently do so by naming the artist and the price set another. If you liked putting another price range is the same.
