I'm Moriah Alise, I am an Art Collector, an art dealer, an art teacher (teaching painting) and an overall art enthusiast. I founded and directed an art gallery in Houston, Texas for nearly 3 years, and gained a ton of experience and knowledge I would love to share with you all.

frame is art dialogue on all levels. from art market research & my perspective, art culture, to common art talk. as i chose to begin my second gallery, Alise gallery, i wanted to embark on a journey that allowed me to have open dialogue with collectors and artist globally that could somehow result in those in the art community learning from one another. its important to be culturally aware as collectors, investors, advisors, artist, and dealers. but whats often missed are the intricacies of the actual speculative, and monetary market, whats behind the culture. lets talk about it!

I'm a collector who has moved on to become a new gallerist. Most days I wake up wondering why I didn't just stick to collecting 😂. I love your channel. The content you provide is valuable and edifying. There are so many facets to the art world, and your channel has helped me to understand it and begin to navigate it with a little more confidence. Thank you.

In Europe buyers have to pay ARR to living and dead artists’ estates.So artists do gain from sales when art is re-sold based on the final hammer price.

[@sooryasankar2549]

Why are you so gorgeous ? thats the real question 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@tomunderwood4283]

Are art auctions also for money laundering? Let’s say billionaire A owes billionaire B for some illegal reason. Billionaire B buys ‘cheap’ painting for $1M. Billionaire A donates $10M to museum. Billionaire B puts painting up for sale. Museum bids $10M for painting. Billionaire B receives their $10M. Museum now gets painting that is now famous. (But one they could never resell for that amount.) Auction house gets a cut.

[@johnokumu9069]

This is not possible for the following reasons: The Museum: Museums have nonprofit status shielding them from taxes, this is you donate to them to get tax benefits. If they become part of the scheme you've suggested they lose its nonprofit status which means they immediately owe various taxes, lose access to grants and support of the nonprofit community...ending in instant death for the museum. Museums don't have their own money, they depend on donations protected by a board of trusties hence can't even bid for anything as bidding means the one who pays the most wins. The Auction: The auction house would also not participate in this scheme for the following reasons: 1. Lawsuit: auction house will attract a lawsuit and be forced to settle. This is bad as auction houses don't take commission on high value sales since this is advertisement for the lower priced works of between $10k - 200k where majority of buyers are. 2. Strategy and risk: while auction houses make it feel like anyone can take their artwork for auction, this is far from the case. Works from random artists are turned down as the goal is not simply get a hummer price price but secure future sells i.e its the brand of the artist that commands prices not the art work or seller, this is why you often hear the phrase "long lost artwork by..." Each artist must have an ecosystem made of collectors and experts that exclusively work on that artist hence its the authenticator's job to link the work to that artist which is also harder that its made to seem the older the artist is. Selling an artwork by an artist with an ecosystem increases the value of the entire ecosystem meaning the experts are more credible and their collectors are encouraged submit their work for auction hoping to attract a similar price which increases the value and prestige of the ecosystem. 3. Regulators: it is misleading to say the art matket is not regulated, as anti-money laundering bodies do not care which industry you are in they will get you. Often people assume that since you haven't been caught today you have gotten away with it. This is not true in law, you merely have gotten away with it at that particular point in time but they can still come after you for that transaction in the future even if every other transaction was clean. When they do everything is seized which includes all the asset the auction house has whether it was bought with clean money or not. 4. Money laundering: auctions are a public affair yet money laundering is a private affair. This means that you can't launder money through auction, you would have to clean the money first then store in art by buying the art through an auction. The only reason you are buying the art is coz its an asset you wish to diversify how you store your money for later and unlike a house you its not very visible. In summary the Auction can never risk losing everything (their assets and future business from all other legitimate buyers and sellers) over one sketchy scheme made by two people who owe each other. Most importantly these two individuals must be as smart as a rock in money laundering if this is the preferred scheme especially if you can see it with your level of clarity what makes them think law enforcement and general public can't?
