[@chuckbizzert9098]

Its purely about tax evasion and money laundering. Nobody spends 100 million on a painting because they like it.

[@bigt4837]

Mr beast uses his videos to avoid taxes as well. He uses actors in his video which he pays regular wages but makes videos pretending to give them millions. He uses it as a tax deduction and write off. Only the poor who dont know how to fraud the government get punished

[@bigheadrhino]

You’d be surprised. People buy things all the time purely because they “like it”. The scale is just different for some people. A regular person buying a fancy toyfor a couple hundred dollars to put on their shelf might feel an equal amount of financial pain about it as a billionaire spending millions on a painting.

Why?

[@rmglover3191]

Worked at Christie's for 10 years. Recognized the dark-haired woman on the podium at the end. Had to help resolve some of the house's tax liability. Many purchasers never picked up their art resulting in pseudo "free" storage. Would resell it in a few years for a profit never having collected the art; no tax, shipping, insurance paid. Was a whole thing.

[@llama9274]

funny hahaha

[@emarciobdirector]

so if I understood correct, people bought the art but they never went there to get the art, and the house has put the item for auction again having profiting again?

[@llama9274]

@@emarciobdirector no the owner never calls irl after winning to pick up and contract didn't have specifics i am assuming. So they had to hold said art insured for free until they pick up or as mentioned most just reauction meaning its a pawn in the money movement game

[@seanr2157]

As a wildlife artist (painter) myself I have always found this topic extremely interesting. More and more I am finding that who knows of you, and who has owned your art, almost at times seems to mean more than the (perceived) quality of the art itself. As a traditional painter I find myself astonished at the price that some seemingly random smudges of paint sell for. But I say good for them! Though I find it puzzling, I continue to paint in this way because I am obsessed with it! Your insight is always valued and appreciated. Wishing you all the best, Sean P. Rademaker

[@OPPOSMITE]

Hey Sean, I'd like to look at some work you might have for sale, how can I find some?

[@jaylucas8352]

In the art world (as in all things) value is about scarcity. Since there is an abundance of talent in the world , but a scarcity of access to capital, the latter holds more value. Therefore , if a billionaire buys your art, there is an exchange of social capital , which results in your art now being more valuable. The world is made of real capital, and social capital. Between the two , is how art is valued. In most cases.

The price of collectors art is a clear example of how much FIAT currency has been pumped into the system by the Federal / Central banks around the world. Paper currency has become unimaginably WORTHLESS in the past two decades.

At those prices, that art better have been made by some alien from alien materials.

[@vaibjsjd]

Well yes Japan's central bank is the biggest investor in the Japanese stock market and swiss central bank ownes large numbers of US companies dx stocks like apple and tesla the reason is money printing or typing digits in computers have to be used for investment to play derivatives and speculation game to dumpe the newly printed money in circulation so the rich who owns such assets where Central banks invest grow in tremendous value thus create the rich and poor gap divide more wider and wider holding on to a currency note is now worth less in value in comparison when its likned with gold to maintain its purchasing price ability, Due to the rising inflation people have started to blame concept of capitalism for the same but its an effect of fragile monetory system which can be used for more infinite money printing when required to pump in the economy to make it run and perform smoothly short term. With providing long term inflationary consicuences to the common people.

[@jasong5913]

Pat, you got this all wrong. You got sold the simple man's story as to how art is valued and why, what looks like painings children can paint, goes for millions. Let me explain the game. Let's say I am a businessman who owns a relatively unknown, or under-appreciated work of art. And let's say I have an investment project that needs a large capital infusion. What do I do? I open up a seperate company (maybe with a trusted partner who is willing to earn a commission for putting his name on the business, but, maybe on my own). I talk to Soethby's and say 'I have a piece of art I would like to put up for auction. Soetheby's says 'ok, it will go under the gavel next week'. When it goes up for auction I get a few of my employees to act as fake 'bidders' on the end of a telephone and they start bidding against ome another for my painting. When the gavel strikes, my under-appreciated piece just went for 8 figures, bought by the company I set up a week earlier. Soethby's is happy because they made their commission on an 8 figure sum.. The 8 figure sum obviously never trades hands because it is my own company that bought it. Now, I can go to the bank and put the painting that is now 'worth 8 figures' up as collateral for the loan that I need to invest in my project. The bank gives me the loan so long as, on paper, its ass is covered by the collateral. Auction houses like Soethby's and Christies close their eyes to this con because they are making their commissions. But both Soethby's and Christies were charged and convicted decades ago with price rigging. This is how obscure and unknown artists become famous. The greater the exhibition and media exposure when the art gets 'auctioned' the greater the effect of the con.

[@jasong5913]

This is why publically-held companies do not partake in this game (despite the owners of said companies might) - they would be required, accordimg to accounting standards, to account for the purchase price that never gets paid. But once an artist gets established via this con, then the market gets legitimitized and trading becomes 'safe'.

[@garethscott9051]

Bingo. You just nailed it man 👏👏👏👏

[@MaryLuminary]

Thank you for talking about the business side of art. Very interesting and informative. As an artist myself, it can be frustrating sometimes, to say the least. Maybe sometime in the future you could give advice or a presentation of your viewpoint directed at the artists. If you were the artist, what would concern you business wise? What advice might you have for the artist? Many of us lack business savvy and expertise.

All art is not the same, it's the best art's returns that outpace the s&p500. Masterworks and other use the numbers game where they pick a basket of the best performing art and calculate their returns and then say art is outpacing the s&p500. Felix Salmon is a respected financejournalist and he has talk and written about just the art world and have people cherry pick numbers and the amount of scams there are in the artworld.

This is where crypto or rather nft's come in handy because with that type of technology the artist can keep receiving royalties when the artist artpiece gets resold and rebought over and over again so the initial profits of 10k would've grown to 45 million years later.
