For what it's worth, here's a wee something I bought a week or two ago from a small gallery: http://www.visualartsalberta.blogspot.com/2012/02/ricardo-copado-travelling-within-dreams_05.html

Remarkably low price and ...


I quite appreciate the artist's vision, even at twice th price.smiley - smiley

Well, I speak as the same kind of person.

Of course, my comment was tongue-in-cheek, but you can't deny that being dead affects scarcity, and that in turn affects value. Yes, people will pay for your vision, and generally a principled artist will hope people buy their work for the 'right' reasons, but they will also part with money for other reasons. A lot of people will pay more for something which matches their sofa. Someone even bought a picture (another artist's) from me because it had the same name as their niece.

(thinks: try using common girls names for titles...)

My last @ Frs for Cremaster.

Still not sure I quite get the difference between 'video art' and 'film', mind. I'm sure there's a fuzzy distinction.

Yes but I forgot to mention one of my all time favourite paintings,

Paul Nash's 'Event on the Downs

And talking of English mystical painters, William Blake hasn't got a look in yet.

(I like that anhaga...)

I don't get your point EtB...that's the point...

Flat screen on the wall. Yes? Everyone knows the parallel...

One big difference though film moves...painting creates the illusion of movement...that's the magic..

But really I was just enjoying you opening things up. Sorry if you found that a problem.

Blake's another example of 'Great painter - not sure I'd want him in my living room', isn't he?

And I speak as a fan. I discovered him on my first trip to the Tate, age 17.

Thank you for the compliment. I am Kathleen Denson. My boyfriend came across your comment on the internet and thought I should reply to it. I really enjoyed creating that piece for Alton and Good Eat's. I do have prints available if you are interested in one for yourself. You can contact me at [email protected]

No wall space and the kitchen is too small. Anyway it would be too damaging for a masterpiece to be hung in a ketchrn

The greatest excitement is probably found among the relatively small circle of fly fishers who pursue them.

Well that was a weird exchange.

If anyone cares, Richard Herring has started asking a variant of this question on RHLSTP.
