"A price in the art market is just a moment in time,” explained Sotheby's when asked what the "right" price of a work is - in this case, in the Dmitry Rybolovlev lawsuit against the big auction house. 🔦 What we’ve learned from the trial (which ended in Sotheby's favour): How does a work significantly increase in price by $77M or +82.8% in just a few years? That is a fascinating question, and through the Rybolovlev VS Sotheby's lawsuit case, more exposés came to light, especially the peculiar case of Amedeo Modigliani's painting 'Nu couché' (translated to English as 'Reclining Nude On a Blue Cushion'). 🧮 The Numbers: 1. Steve Cohen's team sold the painting to Yves Bouvier (Rybolovlev's art dealer) for $93M. 2. Bouvier then sold it to Rybolovlev for $118M (markup of $25M or +26.8% profit!). 3. Three years later, the painting was auctioned by Sotheby’s for $170M (markup of $52M or +44.7% profit!). To determine a "right" price for the work is subjective and depends on various factors such as Modigliani’s demand and market conditions. However, it seems that the price significantly increased during these transactions, with a total increase of $77M or +82.8% from the original purchase by Bouvier. There is a saying, the casino always wins.

As art does not generate any cash flow, its value is solely determined by demand and supply. One important aspect affecting demand is an artwork’s provenance. Having been part of a high-profile collection oftentimes has a positive impact on an artwork’s demand and therefore price. The De La Cruz collection that is going to auction now is a good example. Will these paintings trade at a premium due to their strong provenance? We will know soon… #diversification #alternativeassets #artinvestment #artinvesting

These works will begin to change your consciousness and life in a positive direction in all areas including financial.

What a gorgeous painting Brian! In your Visual Art and our music together, your sense of the 'narrative' of life, the stories, social commentary and recognition of beauty in the apparently ordinary, fleeting moments of the everyday is always evident. As in this painting, you successfully imbue your work with empathy, poignancy, and atmosphere. https://lnkd.in/eSasgZiR

🌳 Cosmic Arbor 🌌🪐🌙** We often take for granted things that seem difficult. Yet, things that appear easy can lead to great difficulty. Where do we stand in this paradox? Are these thoughts emerging from our limited minds or from the cosmic mind? Where are we? #ContemporaryArt #Biennale #ArtFair #ArtBuyers #ArtCollectors #ArtCurators #FamousMuseums

One of three Peace Paintings, titled "And Our Heroes Have Misplaced Their Map" is exhibited in the first Lincolnshire Virtual Open exhibition here: https://lnkd.in/espiSTT3 I'm very sceptical about including my work anywhere locally, as I really need buyers to buy my work, not those who want to grift my ideas for "inspiration". And my work always sells anywhere else. This is why I have not included the Monaco paintings. The Monaco paintings are meant to be exhibited in Monaco to wealthy art collectors. This is the aim. 1:Aim 2: Believe 3: Receive. Follow the instructions to purchase work. Thankyou.
