Art and commerce - the opportunities of increasing the value of early works of art

Art and commerce are often a couple, too often, as many think. Whether this opinion is correct is more than controversial, as is artists who succumb to the temptation of commerce, sometimes in an exaggerated manner.

However, while the merchant who has risen to the richest merchant in Germany because he has paid as little wages as possible for as much work as possible for his employees for his commercial skill, an artist is often already criticized if he does not do more than living more well.

In this case, he has not yet reached the spheres of commercialized art: the spheres in which the prices are paid from which not only he could live well, but also would have taken care of his gallery owner for life, and perhaps also the whole village in which the artist has withdrawn to work.

This area of ​​“commercialized art” is an area that unfortunately remains closed to most of all artists. Unfortunately, the commercialized art that deals with the sale of the hottest works of art of the time is also an area that is largely closed to the normal earner.

Anyone who understands this idea quickly becomes a little sad: Can it really be that the art that creates the most important and interesting artists of the time is only reserved for a few people? Of which can sometimes even be assumed that you don't necessarily gain your money in a way that deserves to be rewarded with the “most beautiful art in the world”?

Yes and no - because you don't just have to accept this thought yourself, you are free to develop a opposite strategy:

You could z. B. the money they spend every week for playing the lottery. If you even give a completed appearance every week (Wednesdays or Saturdays), that's € 12.25 per week, just under € 50 per month, € 650 a year. You get a lot of art for this, e.g. B. here on kunstplaza .de .

If you specialize in the acquisition of still unknown artists, you also have chances that these works of art will increase later.

While the chances of the lottery should not really delight your heart, at least not if you bother to expect a little: the chances of meeting in profit class 1 (6 correct number), mathematics from the responsible department of combinatorics were calculated that it should be 139,838,160 (around 139 million) to 1, in profit class 2 (6 correct) it does not look much better: 15,537,573 (around 15 million) to 1 - of course, especially with regard to the accuracy of these numbers, as the lottery always says: All information without guarantee!

So you would have to make 139 million or 15 million tips so that there is a profit if you did exactly that, you would be the loser. Because only around half of the lottery income is also distributed as a profit, the rest is divided depending on the lottery law of the country: 7.5 percent go to the acceptance points, approx. 2.8 percent flow into the retention of the administration, 16.67 percent of lottery tax, as well as an average of 23 percent forced concession levies that are used to promote youth, environment, culture and sport. So they also promote culture in our country with their lottery missions, but only with a very small part.

"But relying on young artists is nothing more than lottery games!" If those who are not examined through the evaluations that are made on the art market. If you look at the chances of winning mentioned above, you don't have to be a great mathematician to see that the opportunities for increasing the value of an early work of art are higher than that of a lottery profit.

If you rely on young artists, you will also get a completely different win over a lottery game: you will receive an equivalent, a work of art that will delight you every day.

It remains to be seen as a conclusion: it is up to you whether you bend the commerce in art or whether you discover the art free of financial matters. In any case, we are happy, even if many artists who are not yet known to take the opportunity to present their art on kunstplaza .de .
