Artist Day (10/25): How can you make your art more valuable without cutting off your ear?This is about some very interesting questions about artists, art, the art market and the huge prices that people are paying for art these days. It's also about 2 exciting art promotions that could generate huge advertising revenues for art magazines.
"Toujours L'amour" by Robert Barrows. See more at www.barrows.com/gallery.html THE STORY IDEAS COVER SOME VERY INTERESTING ANGLES ABOUT: 1) ART AUCTIONS (Does the 2nd place bidder at a multimillion dollar art auction breathe a sigh of relief or a sigh of regret?) 2) ART PRICES: (How did the art market get so hot, and how should you price your art?) 3) TWO ART PROMOTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT CONSIDER FOR YOUR OWN PUBLICATION (They could generate a tremendous amount of publicity and a tremendous amount of advertising revenue for your company.) 4) HOW CAN AN ARTIST MAKE THEIR WORK MORE VALUABLE IN THEIR OWN LIFETIME? (Without cutting off an ear, or something else?) 5) WHEN IS ART "ART, " AND WHEN IS ART "EROTICA?" 6) WHAT MAKES PEOPLE START DOING ART ? (FOR FUN AND FOR PROFIT?) Whether you are doing stories about International Artists Day (October 25, 2016), or thinking about some great new angles for art stories, here are some suggestions for some interesting new art angles, plus, some information about proposals for two exciting art promotions that could generate a lot of publicity, a lot of participation, and also a lot of advertising revenue for media companies. HERE ARE SOME OF THE ART ANGLES THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO WRITE ABOUT: 1) REGARDING ART AUCTIONS *At a multimillion dollar art auction, does the second place bidder breathe a sigh of relief, or a sigh of regret? *Plus, what makes art so valuable and how did the art market get so hot? *Is art a good investment, and how much art should be in your portfolio? *Plus, how long after an artist dies does the artwork really become valuable? 2) REGARDING ART PRICES *How should you price your art? *Some art sells for millions...some art won't even sell at a garage sale *If you price your art too high, will people buy it? *And if you price your art very high, will people start thinking that it really is more valuable...or, will they say that price is crazy! *And if you price your art very high, will you be able to insure it...and how much should you insure it for? 3) HERE IS SOME INFORMATION ABOUT PROPOSALS FOR TWO ART PROMOTIONS THAT COULD GENERATE A LOT OF PUBLICITY, A LOT OF PARTICIPATION AND A LOT OF REVENUE FOR YOUR PUBLICATION A) A "NAME THIS PIECE OF ART AND WIN MONEY" PROMOTION I have developed a proposal for a "Name this piece of art and Win Money" promotion that could generate a lot of business for art galleries, art museums, art publications, and mainstream newspapers and magazines as well. You can see more about this promotion and you can download a brochure about the Name This Piece promotion at http://www.barrows.com/ B) A "PRACTICE ART AUCTION GAME" PROMOTION How much would people be willing to pay for a piece of art if they had the resources? Along these lines, media companies could set up a non-binding, fictitious art auction game online using several pieces of my sculpture that people could bid on online. The promotion could be a very interesting way to establish a value for art, and you could even issue "fictitious play money" to participants to let them play the game. 4) HOW CAN AN ARTIST MAKE THEIR WORK MORE VALUABLE IN THEIR OWN LIFETIME...without having to cut off their ear...or something else? *Does the artist have to do or say something controversial? *Does their art have to be controversial? *Does the art have to be something new and unique? *And what makes a piece of art special? *Plus, what makes a piece of art so special that you would pay a lot of money for it? 5) REGARDING "MORE MATURE" PIECES OF ART... Regarding some sexy art...Is it art or Erotica? *Along the lines of art like nudes and torsos, several of the pieces of sculpture that I have done, while they would never be called erotica, might not even be able to be shown in your own publication. So when is art art? And when is art erotica? 6) WHAT MAKES PEOPLE START DOING ART ? (FOR FUN AND FOR PROFIT?) To talk to the artist, call 650-344-4405.
