The cost of a painting depends on many indicators. However, aspiring artists with overestimated ambitions do not take this into account and value their works too highly. Therefore, in order not to harbor vain illusions, it is better to thoroughly study the rules of assessment.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, the canvas is assessed by the author. Accordingly, the older the painting and the more famous the artist, the more they will give for it at any auction. Of course, modern masters in this respect are very much behind the recognized geniuses of bygone eras. The myth is widespread among young artists that if there is no collection demand for their works in their country, then in the West they will definitely be in demand. This is a mistake, as experts and collectors abroad are also eager to acquire the works of the recognized genius.
Step 2
The next point, which determines how much can be given for a particular canvas, is the time when this painting was painted. Based on this, a work of the 18th century will a priori be more expensive than a painting of the 20th century due to the fact that it is already considered antiques.
Step 3
However, even if the artist and his work do not fit the description of the first two points, he still has a chance to get a pretty decent estimate of the value of his canvas. After all, she is influenced by her role in contemporary art. If it fully reflects the events of the day, is written in the style and spirit of the times, then such a picture is highly appreciated.
Step 4
The quality of the painting also plays an important role in determining the price of a work of art. Certain paints, the canvas, the brushes used - all these change the value of the canvas in a certain way.
Step 5
Another parameter by which the value of a painting is estimated is its size. It is quite expected and understandable that the smaller the work, the less it will cost in comparison with any large-scale work of art.
Step 6
If you are not an artist, but just a collector who seeks to sell a work of art he has, then in your case its history will also influence the assessment of the painting. The number of previous owners, the presence of damage, the quality of the restorations carried out, the history of previous purchases - all this allows you to both increase and reduce the cost of such work.
