PRICING
The price of artwork can range from just a few euros to millions, which can sometimes be challenging to understand. To provide clarity and transparency, I follow a widely recognized pricing method that ensures fairness and consistency for my clients.
Each artwork is initially priced using the following formula:(Width + Height) x Artist Reputation Factor
The Artist Reputation Factor typically ranges from 1 to 30, based on various factors such as an artist's experience, reputation, recognition, rarity of the artworks, and special techniques that give the artworks a unique character. Considering these variables, my current Artist Reputation Factor is 3-4.
According to the formula, the starting price for a 50 x 70 cm artwork is calculated as follows: (50 + 70) x 3 = 120 x 3 = 360 €.
This approach provides a clear understanding of how the price of an artwork is determined based on its dimensions. In addition to the Artist Reputation Factor, I also consider variable material costs and other factors that may lead to price adjustments.
Additional Pricing Factors:
Surface: For canvases up to 2.5 cm in depth, no additional charges apply. A greater depth results in a 30% surcharge due to the increased cost of the canvas. Conversely, cheaper surfaces, such as paper or panels, lead to a 30% decrease in price.
Special Materials: The use of unique materials, such as gold leaf or other premium elements, incurs additional purchasing costs, added on a 1:1 basis.
Commissioned Artworks: Commissioned pieces involve an additional charge of 20% due to the extra time and effort required. Visit the COMMISSIONS section for more information about the additional care I take during the creative process to craft a unique artwork tailored to your vision.
Complexity: Artworks that require an exceptional amount of detail or hours of work may have an adjusted price (though this has not occurred yet).
By using this system, I aim to make the art-buying process easier to understand while reflecting the effort and value behind each unique piece. I'm always happy to discuss specific requirements or budgets with full transparency. If you have any questions, send me a message via CONTACT.
