    This is the best art content channel on youtube, and I think that by now I have seen them all! I had to laugh though, when you said ' what do you do when you see someone you'd like to get to know', and I immediately shouted out 'Stalk them!' 😂😆😂😆😳 It made me laugh like a donkey. And...maybe I better switch to decaf? 😄

    a very insightful video, as always. i was wondering, if you can make a video on how important a title is to an artwork. (Or is it not important?). I do find sometime an artist put his/her artwork as 'untitled'. what do you think? 😁😏😁

    certificates of authenticity are pointless and do nothing to authenticate the art. There are no standards or governing bodies for it. The artist writing 'this is authentic art by me' is silly and redundant. I talked to a prominent museum curator and he said the COA is worthless, neither galleries or museums or their collectors or affiliated institutions would ever recognize them. He said the work itself with the artist's signature is the COA. No reputable galleries or artists in them use COAs.
    Artists are deceiving the art buyer with an internet fad that got invented by art platform marketers year ago, which does nothing more than blow smoke up the buyer's butt. The COA needs to die, and artists, consultants, advice givers, need to start thinking critically about marketing gimmicks like this and ALL the other advice they give based off hunches, yt vids, common knowledge, gurus, and how to websites. I rarely see anyone with real experience AND success talking about these topics.

    • @VeryPrivateGallery
      @VeryPrivateGallery  Před rokem +2

      I kind of agree. But I want to abolish more useless t things such as wedding rings. It's pointless to have wedding rings, they are silly and redundant and often worthless. No institutions would ever recognize them. However, people still buy them, right?

    • @AtomicElf1
      @AtomicElf1 Před rokem

      ​@Very Private Gallery My wedding ring is a symbol of my wedding vows and a public sign that I am not available for intimate or romantic engagement. Wedding rings serve a useful and meaningful purpose for many people. Whether or not a COA is valuable depends both on the meaning people ascribe to it (the "market," collectors, galleries, art community, general public) and the format of the certificate and whether there is any way to definitively link it with the actual piece of art. A piece of paper that essentially says "I made this!" is indeed useless in many venues. A gallery is not going to tout that a piece of art has a generic COA unless it is the secondary market and there is some actual way to link the COA to the work. The easiest way to accomplish this is by creating a COA that is designed in a unique way, perhaps with hidden information known only to the artist, and an offer for authentication by the artist. If the market for your art is the general public who knows very little about the art world, a paper certificate you printed on your home ink jet printer may thrill them to death. Just like a serious art collector may be thrilled to go to an artist's studio and pick through the stacks of paintings they have leaning against a wall, whereas some members of the public would cringe at the thought of having to do so and would rather have a piece presented to them in a gallery setting and then wrapped up and delivered to them with a bow.

    • @skyrider4789
      @skyrider4789 Před 9 měsíci +1

      Your comment is 'absolute', but incorrect. Maybe in your specific case or niche. I've worked with collectors and artists regarding both originals, limited editions and COA are definitely valuable and without them, the pieces are simply worth less (I'm talking pieces ranging from several hundred to six figures USD).
      Again, maybe in some niches you're correct, but in the ones I'm familiar with, they are the norm and FAR from dead.

    • @Art_of_Ramon
      @Art_of_Ramon Před 2 měsíci +1

      My COA is an artwork in itself. I infused my DNA into it, and in the future, tricorders will be a reality. You can easily see how authentic the DNA in the certificate is with the DNA found in the artwork itself.

      Most artists are starving. Art is a hobby, and 99.99% of artists never sell a single original art. It’s laughable to hear that those tips would help 😂 Who do you have in your circle that would buy original art? Or art from unknown artist, technically a hobbyist? People barely buy reproductions from artists like Van Gogh etc Most aren’t even buying ikea or Walmart prints made in china 🙄
