How collectors determine the value of artworks? | Hossein Farmani | TEDxChiangMai

[@arjunbhandari2466]

If everyone will only buy renowned artists, new artist won't get a chance. And I disagree with the point that one has to know where the artist came from, or where he studied! I mean it's 2019...Art should transcend all barriers, boundaries, class, strata of society or even a degree. Art should just touch one thing, and that's the heART 💝

Arjun Bhandari excuse me while I throw up

[@pranitsingh8369]

Self-expression is alright but one must also focus on the actual monetary value of the pieces that they invest in.

[@arjunbhandari2466]

@@simonbullows You've already. And you are excused long before you wished you were.

Amazing guy

[@krishnangovender7779]

Hossein Farmani is so inspiring, a very smart and outspoken individual !

[@pennykent5687]

As an artist, I think I like this guy. Artists are fools not to bond with other artists, and so many of them DON'T.

[@FarmaniGroup]

Thank you Ted-x Chiangmai for the opportunity to be one of your speakers.

[@zederish]

Thank you Mr Farmani I very much enjoyed your speech. I am a collector of vintage pens that some belong to more than 80 years ago and so far I have made a collection of around 20 pieces, which are rare. How can I estimate the value for this collection? is the value set by the demand? for example a seller might value an item as high as he wants but isn't the value decided by the buyer and maximum amount of money that buyer is willing to pay? Do you have any recommendations on how to preserve items such as vintage fountain pen that they will not be damaged over time? Thanks again

Good stuff Hossein, thanks for sharing

[@lisengel2498]

I love your advice "collect what you love" -

[@coco0550]

Incredible ❤️❤️❤️

[@ladystarart888]

I got some great art work!🎨

[@EdwardFielding]

I enjoy selling to people who appreciate my work for the value it brings instead thinking of it as some kind of investment.

[@joegug4751]

I’m a collector, I’ve bought Art years ago that now would be considered pennies on the dollar. I think it’s a matter of luck and love.

[@positivenergylife]

Very unique information ;) Thank you for sharing!

[@elizabethjack595]

Hi my friend thank you so much for sharing your experience with every one else very helpful and I am really interested in learning more about art and photography and God bless you and your family

[@simonbullows]

If people want to buy the art because they like it they can buy the print, if they want to make money buy the original

[@hera_creatives]

hearing this in 2022

[@Funandconsciousness]

Appropriate. I'm a photo-artist with definitely unique work.

[@matthieumichard]

cool story bro

[@africaart]

I currently only sell original which means real scarcity 07:40 If I was to later become an household name, everyone who bought one in the past would experience the romantic "discovery of treasure"

[@jonathanmyles-lea4986]

It’s all about the money.

[@jennyhughes4474]

"Vacuum sealed" ??!!

[@ladystarart888]

I got some great art work to sell:)

[@Unborn-Stillborn]

Thats was 12 minutes of stating the obvious .. snooooore ....

[@manuelfernando9729]

I still dont understand why on earth anyone in the right mind would pay $58mil for that metal object?...its not something mechanical which perform or do something extraordinary but just a metal object that can be replicated to the same consistency for under $20 buck

[@CK-jl5fx]

he sounds like saying art collecting is about making money

[@murderballad1154]

so boring.

[@freecandysugar]

Stop moving please

[@oblisk420]

why own something why not just appreciate it why go through all that rubbish about "is this exclusive" or "what's the status of the art/artist" to determine worth as if art itself isn't something subjective and by that definition unquantifiable I love art but don't understand the very boring mercenary industries erected around it

[@robertstevens8181]

terrydowne Any passion will spawn a market. It is that simple.

[@ronaldolamont]

"Why own something"? By something, I assume you mean art? To ask that question, must mean you are definite;y not an artist! lol :-)

[@yesicanstan1]

It's interesting that he stated he collects photography, sculpture and ART... haaaa... anyway. interesting talk.
