“the art game...” “..showing paintings on line, is now the main stream for the dissemination of an artists work, of that there canSpike does some straight talking be no doubt. Even though real life exhibitions are still relevant for many artists, an on line presence is essential (if only for street cred). That old bone we chewed on “painting dead” debate has faded away as fast as padded shoulders did in the middle 1980’s. There has been a major change in attitude to painting in the last few years. In part, this may be entirely due to the need for the high street galleries to survive the financial crisis, the one that started in earnest in 2007 and is still having an effect now. Not to mention adding to the problem with Donald Trump and the European Union on the brink of collapse helped along by Yellow shirt craziness and No Deal Brexit. Today, more than ever, high street galleries need to sell ‘more-stuff’ and earn extra profit to pay those stupidly high ‘business rates’ in the major Cities – And lets be honest, paintings sell much quicker than sculpture those ‘cool’ avant-garde installations of nonsense that rely on high brow art academics to authenticate the cultural importance of something that most people wouldn’t actually install in their homes, even if they don’t say so publicly. And usually there is a heavy price tag for that sort of contemporary art. Consequently the contemporary ‘arty farty’ marketplace is tiny compared to the ‘popular paintings’ art market. Even though there are only so many landscapes that anyone can put in their homes. That market will also run dry eventually. Maybe a very few of the high street galleries will expand their perimeters and start to take a risk, in half a decade or so? By which time it could be too late. Today the sheer size of the (art) market (because of the www) has outgrown all that ‘arty farty stuff’ by leaps and bounds – certainly as far as turnover is concerned. So the www has become the place to set up your stall. Major funded on-line art galleries and some not so well funded independent artists all have a go at selling direct to art collectors and art lovers. Even Tubes magazine are having a go (although they already know there is no money to be made so why bother trying? - I’m told by the Editor that the space for artists is in keeping with the magazine policy - that is “Art before profit..” ...many folks may find him, like I do, quite nuts. The one man art galleries start-ups fail quickly- some have a sort of ‘in the third year we will make money fiscal plan’ and obtain a bank loans. Most, in reality, loose much more money than they bargained for and are wrapped up prematurely by their investors (or more commonly the Bank) Tomorrow will not a case of high streets chasing huge profits for many galleries, on the contrary, it’s going to be survival we are talking about here.
“..there is no money in Art..” A very wise man once said to me (back in 1982).He may have been right, but for the wrong reason, as far as I am concerned. Should Artcannot and should not really be treated as a commodity? And be sold as such? - Stack ‘emhigh, sell ‘em cheap is not an effective strategy, I think not for original art, so when times gettough, (in Art) the tough get going or they bottle it.The galleries are having some degree of success especially the well positioned bricks andmortar establishments. They do use the web effectively. Many sell-out their latest exhibition on-line, even before they hold the opening night, which simply turns into a social event. A night which also serves a vital purpose for the prospective client to actually see the Artwork for real – then the deal is invariably clinched on the spot by the religious handing over of the Credit Card or the signing of the agreement of the 12 month interest free payment scheme’ “ they say quality original art always wins out in the end... ...(well nearly always).” I guess the major on-line gallery self appointed art selectors will continue to advance those artists that fit their preferred ‘trendy style’’ of the month and advise their visitors who are the ‘ones to watch out for, because next month they will be discounts galore on offer, perhaps?Thus employing the ‘bugger the Artist’- stack em high and give big discounts - if you buytoday- type of non-ethical bribery ‘games they play’ – And all with additional discounts forsecond time buyers, of course. Will high street galleries continue to be flooded by the hopefulnewbie painters who really don’t stand a chance, or will these hoards of artists whothink they can ‘stick a jpeg on line’ with a ‘really famous named’ overpopulated web site andexpect a sale? Better be prepared for disappointment and a very long wait, my dear deludedartists friends. For you will be one of millions who reside in a virtual space that is almostimpossible to be seen, unless your art is featured on the front page.Will the on-line - ‘paid private educators’ - who tell us - How to Sell Your Art On-Line, or ‘Howto paint like DeKooning’ (yes you really can view a You Tube on how to do that) ‘activity’ reallybegin to make a difference for the artist financially, or is all that art business on line simply agame that lines the pockets of the author who wrote this sort of bull shit ?It seems to me, that the only way forward for painters today - is do what the Impressionists didway back in the day before the internet existed - That is find a ’cheap’ building to rent space -Hire it - Put your stuff on the Wall (with a few artists friends) - And throw caution to the wind,then go mental posting on social media pushing the show and have’ a brilliant time at theopening - I mean what’s the worst that can happen? You will loose some hard earned cashand many hours of your time, possibly in a drunken stupor? But perhaps you will gain ahell of a lot of self pride (and the mutual respect of your fellow painters, maybe) and get tounderstand how a real artist (and a really great gallery owner) actually work bloody hard andmostly for the love of Art and not for the love of money. There is nothing wrong in selling yourArt but surely it’s what and how that matters ...After all it’s just a (selling) game...isn’t it? written by ‘SPIKE’ for painters TUBES spike©5/12/2018 edited January 2019
