THE VALUE OF THE PAINTING
By Fernando Ortisso
(artist and art critic)
Dear Dolores: Your constant concern, your default, your "Age of Innocence," the girl's rebellious, unyielding that you always have inside leads you to these reflections, which are almost a million questions . This "value of art" has caused rivers of ink by critics, artists, gallery owners, essayists, and I find it impossible to cover here, even briefly. As a general framework, I recommend you read a classic of ours ORTEGA, "The Dehumanization of Art" that you framed this and other questions on the subject. Already in the last century, a renowned French critic, manual, do not remember whether or ARTAUD ARNAUD called, differed in any artistic work, three basic components:
"The material that is tangible in the work of art, media, media, colors, perceptible to the five senses
-The Heritage. That is the aesthetic component or contains. The largely subjective or objective assessment of their goodness or criticism of any work as "art."
-economic. Value "market"
None of these aspects, as expected, never enjoyed peaceful opinion and does not allow to draw conclusions pragmatic. Just let me say that on the third component to be addressed, such as PRICE any other economic good, understood in economic theory, as those few, identifiable and contingent, is the result of the interaction of two economic forces: SUPPLY AND DEMAND, ie three-dimensional works that do not differ in their behavior of other property transactions, and are subject to the laws of the market.
However, these "markets" for use or consumption, may be more or less liberalized or otherwise, operated or regulated by regulations, exogenous influences or powers, usually normal. And this art, it is, distorted by critical areas, collectibles, especially the public institutions, museums, etc, which become since the last decades to develop a kind of craft bag, to give references of stable value and to give some security and reliability to investors. In the proposed construction of the SAC, which has no "spaces" determined as the stock exchanges, have focused special interests, big collectors, gallery owners and influential dealers and auction houses around certain companies and copyright protection as the SGAE.
the whole arrangement, have emerged as a kind of virtual ART BAGS, now fueled by the Internet, lists or newsletters QUOTATIONS artists works and levels of detail, unexpected ago few years. As an example I cite the institution Artprice , recognized throughout the world who constantly edits all transactions and quotes a reference price is accepted for Valuations, Probate, Public and Private Valuations, etc.
These forces, say "pure" supply (quantity and want to sell) and demand (want to buy and more or less limited) in determining the prices are united in every kind of market forces, some natural or general, as now "economic crisis" and other artificial, fueled by the interaction of new business strategies, such as marketing applied. Advertising, Merchandising (good cloth is no longer sold in the ark) or speculative nature opera tions planned by institutions or particuales influential on the work of a particular artist, eg following the death of the painter, by monopolizing the bulk of his work by heirs, Foundations, by expectations of rising young artists emerging patrocinados.Incluso more or less has been said and written-off transactions to elevate a particular painter, as is said of the event and the Foundation MIQUEL BARCELO MARCH.Pero This also happens in the world of bullfighting, theater, music and what not to say in the literary sector, wilderness of interests, dominated by the Awards and the like Editores.Algo hostile takeover bids in the stock market slang.
Want all this means that economic assessments of the artists are arbitrary, capricious or the product of chaos and divorced from its aesthetic value or plastic? Or by chance or fate of an artist? STRICTLY NO. As in the great universal mandala. ALL necessarily the case. TIME, out of dark moods and interests, is the MOST CRITICAL TO THE MAXIMUM relent and WISDOM, and just leaving everything and everyone in their place of history in the Hegelian sense of perspective. It is interlocked with particular because all the great artists and teachers, among which, more likely, and rightly, do not appear (and I'm sorry this cruelty) NI TU NI YO. It is quite true that in the cast, ARE NOT ALL THEY ARE, but I am convinced that IF ALL THAT IS. And it would be redundant and even vulgar, to refer these considerations Al PICASSO your reflection.
Geniuses like him, have set milestones in the evolution of art, and luckily somehow also is Darwinian, "refining their species' natural selection and survival instinct. Foresight have marked the paths of art and marked its history, as the existential humans, it is only understandable as a "history of progress."
to all this we add, that in egregious production are Special canonized auteur pieces that have come to represent borders, symbols, icons, flags of movement, proclamations, or manifests plastic, do not miss that constitute true "object of desire of collectors suffer" persecution "and to plunder: Y Prices reached as unthinkable as the "only" bright Cunningham of the British Crown. And you notice the discreet price of Picasso. Did not say much more transgressive works such as "potty" of Duchamps, banner of "before and after" of contemporary art after the Kassel Documenta, the pot of "Artist` s Sheet Manzoni, the first " abstract "S / T Kandidinsky of 1911, Marilyn of Warhol, "The Sunflowers" by Van ghogh, "Le soleil d'avant" of Monet, or "The Bridge" by Munch, who have sheared and 1000 million ...?
