Acrylic on canvas.
Auction prices for modern and contemporary art has skyrocketed in recent years while the majority of the general public watch in confusion, even horror, as the equivalent of a large business' annual budget is spent on a painted piece of canvas. We are awed more by the "value" than the work itself...but is that the fault of the work, the artist, the viewer, the dealer, the market or everyone involved?
Auction Blocks is about cultural and monetary value. When our world is largely run by an ability, or lack-there-of, to pay, is the value of art dependent on it’s dollar worth or it’s ability to inspire? And in a world so focused on profit and power, is there much of a difference?
