Abstract Art Products Can't Be Cheap - Learn Why Prices Are Really High

By Cameron Ores, Rose Winslet, Lisa Robertson


The expensiveness of abstract art products is clearly justified by various reasons. People are almost certain that any art product, as the result of the artist's own imagination, must be non-expensive. Whenever people are looking for abstract art, they will certainly be very surprised. This happens as they assume abstractions to be less valuable than any other art products. They seek an explanation for this phenomenon, because truth be told, there are folks who believe that art products from the abstract genre should be one rung below the rest: and hence cheaper.

Although all art genres have great value in their products, artists who went on the abstract way believe that what they do has the value of any mainstream art or may even be a lot more valuable. The true value of abstract art can be understood by observing how no real abstract artist will be willing to lower product prices. However, we will try to come up with a logical answer for all of the folks out there seeking answers to why abstract art products are priced so high. We can share at least three grounds for that.

The first reason as to why some abstract art products end up being extremely expensive is in the fact that very high cost inputs go into their production. Most of the times, the preparation of certain art products involves using a canvass. That turns out to be the very highest quality canvass (which, quite naturally, is also the costliest artistic canvass). Abstract artists care about the quality of paintings. Whenever you see an abstract painting, you can know that the most expensive paint has been used to create it. Painting on high quality canvass with high quality paint makes no sense without using high quality, expensive brushes and tools. By the end of the whole artistic project, a sizable amount of money has been spent. This is why the end price is a high one: the artist must earn a little amount of money when selling any of his or her works.

The second principle and fact resulting in abstract art products being high-priced is that 'time is money'. As you probably know, abstract products are made by hand, thus a lot of time and energy is invested in every single product. Abstract art works must be priced high to motivate the artist. This is needed because every artist spends a lot of time and energy on each piece.

The third reason as to why some abstract art products end up being extremely expensive is in the fact that a lot of skill is required in producing them. Getting your artistic work to the commercial market is a very hard thing to achieve. Only first-class artists have managed to get to that point. Having put so much of their skill in the production of the items in question, the artists are naturally inclined to sell them at reasonably high prices.
