ARTISTS AND WORKSHOP QUOTATIONS
The MOSTRAMI SRL IS gallery offers online sale exclusively of artists with whom it directly collaborates and defines and controls the listing on the market. This is to fully guarantee the customer to buy at the right price. The quotation is defined on the basis of the curriculum of the artist: exhibitions, publications, attention by critics, prizes. In addition to market value we must also consider:
Quality: It is the fundamental element to evaluate the quotation of each single work. It is by no means said that the works of an artist are all of the same level; There is no doubt that some are better than others.
Dimensions: often the value of the work rises proportionally to the perimeter, not to the area of the work itself
Technique: Normally works on canvas are more precious than works on paper and the same is true for oil or acrylic works compared to mixed techniques; There is, however, no general rule, and sometimes these considerations can be subverted by the “beauty” of each single piece.
The year: The date of execution of works is often very important because there are golden periods in which artists have given the best of themselves; moreover, the date can characterize the historicity of some pieces making them particularly valuable.
The style: often works that require an intense activity of the artist are more precious, because the time spent and the difficulties of realization affect the value.
Reviews: The success of a work is often measured on the basis of the reviews received (publications on catalogs, magazines, newspapers) and participation in important exhibitions, in prestigious museums and galleries, so it is possible that the value of a work Is higher than that of a less-than-rated work. It is also important to understand if the piece belongs to a particular “cycle” of the artist and therefore if it is valuable even if it is not published, for example because it belongs to a historic “cycle”. The importance of the publication is also and above all to be found as a further guarantee of authenticity over time, which enriches the work itself.
