Imagine the situation that you are an artist , and wrote several works commissioned by a gallery.
By mutual agreement, you , having a name and sales, received $ 10,000 for the work.
All right, everybody is happy.
And so, even if your life, your work sell for millions .....
And you of those millions of little light - the toad.

Dollar or the euro had long been the equivalent of labor , services or goods are virtual numbers.
If Obama or Merkel " poured " into the economy hundreds of billions to fight the crisis , it's a common postscript zeros in the bank computers. Is it any good or service for these hundreds of billions , no.
Nothing is worth it.
So why does this surprise , to be sure .. $ 5,000,000
For those who are " worth close " to the bank machine is a penny .
Well and good opportunity bucks " to wash ".

There is an opinion ..
.. Investments in modern art is just as risky and uncertain as to invest in vouchers 90, or in today's "extremely profitable" shares some mutual funds. Because today's artist - not an independent artistic personality (and what were the Impressionists, and Suprematists), and the product released to the market gallerists.

This kind of art "Star Academy" - with the only difference being that "manufacturers", before release on to the stage, teaching professionals. And as such, "released" by artists, here, by virtue of the aesthetic are hard to swallow the vast majority of art objects, even experts can definitely say only one thing: we are faced with a huge crisis of ideas as in life itself, and the creative process. This applies to all of Western civilization. And it is on the western art market oriented our art dealers. Primarily, this refers to the American market model. They can understand that prices for contemporary art in America, several orders of magnitude higher than the European ones. For example, Mark Rothko painting sold for more than $ 76 million - is the canvas as the canvas, the upper half is painted yellow and green paint, and the bottom - a dirty purple, if they wanted to be called painting.

However, neither Russia nor the European market can not be equated with American, because America historically has developed a very special situation.This country simply had no history of art. Until the second half of the twentieth century American art is deeply provincial, painting, unlike cinema, there never rose to the level of even the weakest European artists. But the niche was filled with something, and it occupied by representatives of pop art - by the way, their work is bought by Americans. Rather, the modern American hedge funds, which control huge financial flows. This is what is called the demand for patriotic art, patriotic component, namely today - an important part of the price on the art market.

Investing in contemporary art - it is very doubtful. In contrast to the traditional art market, trading in antiques. In the end, even now the most expensive painter in the world Rothko and even Picasso and Rubens.
