The market value of a work of art does not seem to be proportional to its own artistic value . The formation of the art market is inevitable, after all, artists also have to eat. After a work of art enters the market, its essence becomes a commodity , and some problems can be explained by the principles of economics. For example, the value and use value of commodities are expressed as "price" and "aesthetic value" respectively in the art market; affected by the relationship between supply and demand, prices fluctuate constantly, and devaluation and sky-high prices may exist.
In this market sense, counterfeiting of works of art is strictly prohibited . Artists as producers have a very limited supply of works, especially after their death, the reduction in supply will cause huge price fluctuations. This is similar to an intellectual property issue, where fakes disrupt the market by increasing the supply . Therefore, when trading artworks, the trading market will strictly check the provenance records and trace the origin of the paintings.
In the film, the attorney asked: "Will the experience of art be changed because the paintings are fake?" I don't think so, just as many senior art appraisers and collectors can't help but express their sincere praise when they see fake paintings . The aesthetic feeling at that moment is real, and the inner joy is real. But how much aesthetic pleasure can be obtained when the commercial value (value) far exceeds the real artistic value (use value) ? Is the excitement when you see the artwork brought by the artistic connotation of the artwork or the artist label on the artwork?
Ordinary art lovers value the aesthetic value of works of art, so they generally do not spend this kind of wasted money. However, as the art market continues to mature, those who can afford to buy art are more likely to value commercial value . For example, collectors may not necessarily appreciate its connotation, but may also say that “what is rare is precious” (however, in the case of low supply, the collection value has indeed increased); for example, investors, not necessarily because they like works, It may also be "for sale". Not to mention disgraceful activities such as hype, money laundering, etc.
High-priced income, high-priced selling, and the cycle rises, forming a monopoly . Under the monopoly of the art business system, art works have become a tool for showing off and getting rich, and their artistic value is almost negligible - this is undoubtedly a mockery of the artists who put their heart and soul into art. Therefore, the voice of anti-art commercialization is getting louder and louder , and there is also the prosperity of land art and street art.
