Artist Resells His Unsold Handmade Art at 100 Times the Price
Original: Buying Handmade Art With No Sales, Then Paying 100x
US photographer and filmmaker Steven Schapiro is drawing attention with a story about handmade art that sold nothing at first, before the same pieces later changed hands at roughly 100 times their original price. Viewers are debating what the story says about how art markets value work only after an artist becomes known, and whether the huge markup reflects genuine worth or hype.
Why now: People are struck by the dramatic gap between an artist's original sales failure and the later 100-fold price jump, a talking point about art-market valuation and hype.
