The cost of the picture depends on many indicators. However, aspiring artists with inflated 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.
Instruction manual
1
First of all, the canvas is evaluated 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 very much lose to the recognized geniuses of bygone eras. The myth is spread among young artists that if in their country there is no collection demand for their works, then in the West they will certainly be in demand. This is a mistake, as experts and collectors abroad are also eager to acquire the work of a recognized genius.
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, the work of the 18th century will be a priori more expensive than the painting of the 20th century due to the fact that it is already considered antiques.
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. Indeed, it is influenced by the role in contemporary art. If it fully reflects the events of today, it is written in the style and spirit of the time, then such a picture is appreciated quite high.
4
The quality of the picture also takes not the last place in determining the price of a work of art. Certain paints, canvas, brushes used - all this in a certain way changes the cost of the canvas.
5
Another parameter used to evaluate the value of a painting is its size. It is expected and understandable that the smaller the work, the less it will cost in comparison with any large-scale work of art.
6
If you are not an artist, but just a collector who seeks to sell his work of art, then in your case, her story will also influence the assessment of the picture. The number of previous owners, the presence of damage, the quality of the restoration, the history of previous purchases - all this allows you to both increase and reduce the cost of such work.
