Via @cyberkid70 Gerhard Richter once pointed to one of his own small paintings and said: ‘This is the value of a house. This is not fair. …Dirty money.’ A powerful moment that shows the paradox of the art market: a tiny canvas holding the same value as something as real and solid as a home. In contemporary art, value goes far beyond paint and canvas — it’s shaped by history, reputation, desire, and speculation. This is what makes the art world so fascinating… and sometimes, so hard to define. |
