Art Pricing - What Should I Price My

Art?

By Lloyd Dobson

In order to price your art realistically, you must

understand and respect how the art business works and

how collectors shop and buy. You must also

objectively assess your art world accomplishments and determine how they position you in relation to all other

artists.

These are difficult tasks and not necessarily

pleasant; but they're absolutely essential to achieving the goals of making a go of it as an artist and of selling art.

Many artists make the mistake of equating dollar values with psychological

factors like how emotionally attached they are to their art or how much anguish

they experience during the creative process.

They place special meanings and, therefore, special asking prices on

certain pieces of their work that may make sense to them inwardly, but have

little or no relation to the selling prices of the rest of their art or to art prices in

general.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that your art is so unique that nothing else compares to it. All art is unique. Every artist is unique. Uniqueness,

however, has never been and never will be the sole criterion for setting prices

at any particular level.

Here is a typical question: "I am thinking of having

prints made of some of my watercolor paintings and selling them on sites like

Etsy. I’m not sure how to go about having prints made,

as far as making it profitable. Any suggestions?"
