Being an art enthusiast in this century is quite challenging. The reason for this is that the industry has remained stuck and stagnant an is pretty much a multibillion-dollar industry still operating to eighteenth-century standards. I have been in the business of collecting art for a while now. How art is appreciated and how it auctioned currently is the same way art was auctioned three centuries ago.
This is a huge challenge for me as an art lover because inefficiencies in this industry affect how I purchase art. Some of the challenges I face are:
Non standardization.
No two paintings from a single artist are alike. A person could create two paintings, and they could demand two very different prices. In this industry, an artist’s journey involves struggle, getting established and then finally reaching the peak of their career. The quality of their work at times does seem to decline.
Opaqueness in pricing.
Most of the art is sold by galleries who are never open about their pricing. The only time the price of art is announced to the public is in the instance of an auction. This assists in setting benchmarks for different artists.
Lack of regulation.
The art industry continues to be unregulated across the globe despite having a turnover above fifty billion dollars.
The issue of fakes.
This is the most feared word in this industry. Informally, thirty percent of this market consists of fakes. This is mainly because there is no much research done documenting the works of various artists. Commercials for the underground dubious forgery market are booming, and even though a fake is sold out of a hundred, there is still enough money remaining to keep everyone happy.
The Artpro solution.
This amazing platform is about to change my art collection hobby as well as yours. Let me walk you through the solutions that this platform is going to offer to make the art industry revolutionary. Artpro is coming up with the go-to marketplace for private dealers and contemporary artists, mostly focusing on upcoming talent.
We will have access to fine art online without the excessive fees, intermediaries and the steep learning curve which has conventionally made art available to the elite and well connected. The platform guarantees authenticity of every artwork on the platform. This has been a major concern of mine; I have bought fakes on several instances which are very disappointing.
As an already experienced investor in this industry, this platform will come in handy as it will form a complete ecosystem in which conventional and contemporary art harnesses crypto, smart contracts and augmented reality to come up with an open platform where everyone is supported. Upcoming artists and first-time investors will greatly benefit from this platform.
CONCLUSION.
The art industry has been inefficient with systems that benefit auction houses and galleries. The thing most people don’t realize is that the real contributors to this industry are the art creators and collectors of great art. I feel like this platform is going to make my art collection journey great one as it is based on the principles of transparency and benefit of all those participating.
