Harsh reality about some works of art: the artist died inmisery while suffering from economic hardship...several
years later in 1960 his painting was sold for $55,000...and
then the same painting was resold in 2009 and this time for
the amount of $142 million. There are many cases like this.
Of course these prices are manipulated prices rather than
real prices. But does it make any change to what happened
to the artist?
This is our world! It is not enough to be a great artist. You should be a great economist.
ReplyDeleteQué injusticia para el artista!
ReplyDeleteEste mundo capitalista a ultranza no tiene medida.
La obra en poco años, se transformó y subió a un precio tan elevado?
Qué sentiría el autor al ver todo este gran negocio de los "marchand".
