What is judged to valuable art?



Lets see, this is a tough one. Basically, art is rather subjective isn't it? The reponse of the viewers towards the work of art are almost never the same. Each individual has their own different opinion.



In today's context, almost everything can be called a work of art, especially so that we're living in a contemporary society where artists such as Jackson Pollock and Damien Hirst have risen up. The meaning and value of art have been altered over the past centuries. In the past, art was mainly valued for its aesthetic beauty and the painting skill/technique. However, art has taken on several different forms and meaning and the view of art is definitely more open and broader.



Alright, hope that made sense. Ok, so no, what exactly is considered to be valuable art. To consider something valuable means that it is important, significant and worth remembering or treasuring right? Yeah. To be, there are several factors which influence a valuable piece of art, first off, its meaning behind it, its uniquesness/ originaility and its aesthetic quality.



Take for example, artists such as Damien hirst or Marcel Duchamp focus more on the meaning of art rather than the aesthestic quality. Their artworks are extremely valuable due to the meaning behind it which is extremely profound and interesting. Artists like jackson Pollock and HoHo Ying are very unique and original artist who revoluntionized their own style of paintings and their works are extremely valued today. Lastly, old artists like Vincent Van Gogh or even more recent artists like Chuck close have works that are extremely valued for its aesthetic quality where their painting technqiues do not go unnoticed.



Yupp, thats how we can judge what valuable art is? Ok, yes, thats all:)
