or have paid,i find it strange to pay loads for prints but original art,i have one painting i paid 500 pounds from a local artist and would pay the same again for a daim or req one,tho that wouldnt be anuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it would depend on the art, obviously... if it was good enough, and I had enough money, I'd pay lots and lots! |

it's kinda weird, but i just cant imagine myself spending money on art in the form of a real painting of photo, even though i am pretty obsessed with art in general. i do invest my money in artbooks and stuff like posters and i try to visit cool exhibitions whenever i can. paying lots for prints is indeed strange. |

Oh, Daim and Req = nice! I wouldn't mind buying something from the . When will Req be releasing new musics anyway? When, I ask!?!? Also, I hope you get a site up soon, Hanal. That would be nice indeed. Indeed nice. |

hah, art always looks better offline! photos are much finer quality in print, and how could you miss out on the tangible strokes of a painting? id pay the $100,000 it takes to obtain an original ansel adams shot. if i had enough money. |
||||||||

ansel adams is good, but no photo is worth such an amount of money. |

Its hard to explain paying hard money for something that sits on your wall, but then again, that is how artists support themselves, and in the end, historians will only be able to judge our culture by our art and technology. I have never purchased original works of art/prints, however, have spent tens of thousands on cd's, and have spent thousands on books. Actually, I have tried to buy prints of a friends pictures before, but he refuses usually just giving me the prints instead. When he sells his stuff (which is super rare) it goes for about 200 to 300 dollars. If he put his head to it, he could easily make a living off of photography. |

i've paid a lot for markers, paint, paper and canvas over the years can i call that paying for art? |
||||||||
|
|

When I say that its rare he sells his stuff, I mean he feels wierd taking money for his art. Even though he gets offers... |

one hundred US dollars! |

right now, around € 100 i guess... if it was really good and if i had enough money. hey, i'm a student. but even if i had the money, i definitely wouldn't play millions of euros... (so far i have a € 55 artwork and a € 20 one.) |

I fell in love with a relief sculture my friend's brother made. I could not really afford it but he knew how much I wanted it so he gave me a discount. I still ended up spending half my months salary on it but it is worth it. I fucking love it still. The money he got also allowed him to put a deposit on a room so he could finally move out of his parents house he had been living in since graduating from art college. I can easily see how people end up spending a fortune on art as the right pieces just get under your skin. Better to spend it on that than gas guzzling machines from unscrupulous multinationals. |

Some guy on the planet-mu board bought the original trevor brown painting thats the cover of Winter in the Belly of a Snake. The price must have been absolutely ridiculous - hardcore fanboy. |

serioulsy though, the dude doesn't have any money and spend his student lone on something like that... |

I really like the piece, but yeah, its a bit obsessive... but I wonder, will it appreciate in value, he better hope snares becomes a legend. |

Well unfortunately a lot of this is predicated on what Art actually is, what its role is, and what constitutes a piece of Art - a discussion which could last forever. Obviously there is a multitude of tiers determining what is capital 'A' Art and lowercase 'a' art. Then, we have something like craft (not necessarily basketweaving or flower arranging) which is more hobbyist and serves a different purpose. And then there is illustration too. All of this comes with a varying price tag and implies the role of the "artist," perhaps a curator, the venue, the community, the subject matter, and maybe even the role of the buyer if there is one. For high-end blue chip Art its about investment, criticality, art historical reference, and reconstitution. There's an enteprise surrounding this that often separates this distinction miles away from most of the stuff that we're discussing here. To answer the original question though, the significance of a reproduction greatly affects the initial intent of the piece / creator. With visual art, you're dealing with scale, resolution, texture, depth, and presence, which you cannot get digitally. So, you'll never get the same thing online. I think what you're asking applies more to music in its recorded form and less to do with actual Art. I think its availability (online) brings into question specific issues, though in most cases I don't think its the creator's intent to bring those issues to the forefront by allowing it to be distributed digitally. Even "Net Artists" aren't necessarily concerned with that immediately. As for the planet-mu dummy, I'd never pay that much for an illustration. That painting is a piece of 'art,' but its not 'Art.' :P |

I dunno about that really. I think Trevor Brown's work can hold its own. Its more than just the cover of a snares album, although thats probably all this guy bought it for. |

seven. i'd pay seven. |

Trevor Brown and several artists out there have the distinct pleasure of fostering in what is called "The Low-Brow Movement" in art - Re: Juxtapoz Magazine style roster artists. Basically, its a group of illustrators / skateboarders/ tattoo artists who make their illustrations on canvas and call it 'fine art' and occasionally get gallery shows with each other, where all the hipsters can come out on a friday night, talk indie rock, and drink $2 Charles Shaw wine. *yawn* Brown is a good painter technically, but I still think he's lowercase 'a' art. Just like Mark Ryden. Typically, one can point out these types of painters because it looks like they grew up all reading the same children's books, watched the same cartoons, and maybe rode skateboards or dated some rocker at some point during their youth. Good for them, they're probably making more money - re: selling prints in Hot Topic and "artist books" at Borders, though I still think its becoming dime-a-dozen, predictable, and quite boring at that. |

i'd throw down $5million for the nacmat truk :) i judge stuff that i buy (this applies to anything really) by how personally it resembles or represents me or something i like.. music, art, or, whatever, i think everyone does... and ofcourse there are just collectors who wanna gather it all up... i had a blowout on japanese wallscrolls 5 years ago so ive got alot of mamoruou oshii scrolls sitting around in the closet not doing anything... theyre tight. got pictures of hot babes holding huge futurstic bazookas, rocket launchers and pistols. and ofcourse theyve got the bulging breasts and long puplr hair and belts of ammo going across their bathing suits... |
