“All works of art have the potential for commercial value social value and essential value”(Michael Findlay ‘The Value of Art’ 2012, p9)
Commercial
“I know street art can feel increasingly like the marketing wing of an art career, so I wanted to make some art without the price tag attached” Banksy - street artist(BBC News web report 14/10/13 – interview with ‘The Village Voice’ NY)
Social
“There is a basic symbiosis between the commercial value of art and the social value of art in our lives. After all, people like to talk about how much things cost. Owning big price-tag art compels the interests of others in ourselves.”(Michael Findlay, 2012, p194)
Essential
"The 'value' of art is measured only in part, and only very temporarily, by what it would cost you to own it. In fact, I solidly agree with the notion that you never truly 'own' art as much as pay for the right to be its guardian during your lifetime. The value of art is measured more in what we as humans are willing to do to preserve it”(Marion Boddy-Evans www.about.com 14/10/2013)
