2nd quarter museum visit


  1. I really liked the exhibition because I thought it was different from the ones I’ve been to before. The variety and quality of work amazed me even though those were not famous artists. That made me think that some of the world famous artists are not famous because  of the quality of their work, but because of all the promotion they got. That made me a little sad because I knew that all those artists deserved the same recognition as Picasso and Van Gogh get. 
  2. There was work from all over the world there and I could see how different it was depending on where the artists were from. There was some modern art; unique pieces created with smoke; Chanel perfume created by French artists; day in life in some of the poorer countries. 
  3. Pricing of most pieces surprised me because there was $10000 and $1000 artwork hanging side by side. Although I understand that the amount of work and time put into it as well as money spent on art supplies determined the price of art pieces, I thought that some of the $1000 deserved to be sold for more than that and vise versa. That made me wonder how artists put price tags on their work, what the main factor is in that decision, and if they compare those prices to other artists’ prices later.
