Artmazher Artnau and made ​​big changes.
At Artmazhere completely renewed design and functionality. Why they did it, still a mystery , many of the functions is not known what happened , and I even changed the name . From the positive - image size paintings became more and immediately displays the size , technology and price, do not need to go to the price list , or write an artist. Now the next picture you can leave feedback - nonsense, in my opinion, on a commercial site it is clearly unnecessary.
 A Artnau got himself finally paid advertising . Inexpensive -180 - 000 displays 2700 rubles for 90 days. The service uses a huge success , they have nowhere to put advertised , just a week, all culled. Plus , you can advertise , minus the main page is now crammed with bouquets , Venice and malogollandskimi still lives . Formerly the editor somehow diversified range. They wanted the best, but it turned out that the site has turned into an exhibition of salon painting , and the shtetl .

Number of artists on Artnau first time in my observation has fallen below 5000 (the last time was 5200, now 4900) , the administration deletes inactive accounts. This information - the AI forum users who think that artists breed like rabbits them every year , more and paintings they write more and more. Unfortunately, statistics indicate otherwise. The reason , IMHO , in the situation with the sale of paintings, if not taken, the artist loses interest in the site ( variant people lose interest in the profession of the artist) .

With one difference -rabbit - useful animal in the country are malnourished .
A bad painting artist in the country (which is the majority ) - harmful.
In the U.S., direct artists tricked out paintings and sculpture , 300 thousand

If we extrapolate this drive to Russia, it will turn out , 140 thousand is the number of stress-free for 10 years may be issued , 60,000,000 of Arts, at least. And judging by artnau - half full of nonsense .
Can you imagine how the country will pollute 30,000,000 knows what . A poor trees on the stretchers and cardboard. It's just some- army of darkness.

If a person simply draws - it is a private matter.
If he draws it to the market to sell, to feed themselves - then yes, there may be negative aspects.
But what can you do.
Unemployment.

After the success of a series of online exhibitions ' curators of 100 to 100 days, " Saatchi Gallery launches a new series of virtual exhibitions World Wide Wall, curators are six well-known contemporary artists . Each of the curators , and this is Alec Soth (Alec Soth), Vongechi Mutu (Wangechi Mutu), Barnaby Furness (Barnaby Furnas), Mikaleyn Thomas (Mickalene Thomas), Kristina Roepstorff (Kirstine Roepstorff) and Roger Ballen (Roger Ballen) will select ten works by ten young artists represented in the gallery Saatchi Online. Rebecca Wilson, chief curator of the Saatchi Online, reported that all three planned exhibitions , each lasting two months , and the audience can see and buy the work of 60 talented young artists, prices of which fluctuate in the range of $ 500 - $ 15,000. "This is a very nice view of mentoring " - summed up Mrs. Wilson.



 Saatchi Online develops the direction of curating online gathering the works of all the artists on the site. T e curator has watched the stream and selects interesting work on a particular topic , which you should pay attention and presents a selection on a particular page. T e is a step away from the endless online collections of hundreds of thousands of jobs , in which it is impossible to understand, to the gallery's selection. IMHO, if the supervisor receives a percentage of the selected works , it would be even better.

I have a dozen samples before looked . Can anyone become famous. You never know ...
But I liked it just a couple of jobs.

The main thing that surprised me - art attempts do not go to any comparison with artistic photography. It is with great pleasure looking at the pictures , and if answered the question , what would do? , The honest answer would throw out 90 %of Fine Arts in the trash , and the photos would be bought with pleasure.

Fed, I do not think the work you do not like because of their quality , most likely not match yours and the curator of the notion that consumers are buying modern art. Choosing among curators huge , if they choose this , then this is the trend. Secondary - flag these samples , similar to the work of Hirst , works like Richter , people are looking for what they already know , well, with slight variations . And if you compare the prices of works sold at auction with prices Saatchi own, you'll see that it's the same price, although the auction has positioned itself as a top contemporary dance . Or happily write that in Vienna Russian gallery presented works from $ 500 , well, so what's the Artnau worse? the same price , the rest is a matter of taste .

More complicated. I studied Artnau for purely scientific purposes. Earlier Artnau was about 7,000 artists.
In my opinion , a moderator made ​​a binding site for trolls, representing commercial sects , and just a scam that turned into a farce and a forum to discuss the increase of professional issues . Over time, the archive Artnau been cleaned out , but I have something left in the archives .
Also earlier Artnau , in my opinion, was built in a vaguely modern business :
 - there was no pre-selection of artworks ( preliminary assessment specialists ) , and especially the work of the second level after the top ;
- Then did not find the description of the bank details Artnau .
Now I go there rarely, only to review the changes in the top-end list of artists.

Artoil-A, why do you bank details Artnau ? They are known to anyone who has ever sold anything through Artnau site and listed the interest due .
The number of artists is now continuing to decline - 4800 . It is not associated with any special actions are simply those who do not confirm the relevance of information and prices are automatically deleted .
