Who's at the top? check out our top five list of the top art galleries.

Hey ya'll , and welcome to this weeks blog posting. Today we're talking top art galleries in the world. Before we jump right into it I wanna say that I thought of all the many "top" lists I could do, and it was really tough. I looked at the top ten paintings of all time, the top used art mediums, and even the top ten paintings stolen. There are so many things that we could choose to explore, but I chose art galleries as a way to maybe inspire you all to take an art trip to check them out.

There are so many amazing art galleries in the world that it seems too hard to make a list of the top ones. Each art gallery has its own quirkiness and character that may make up its appeal to a big percent of art lovers, or perhaps its the collections they keep that inspire most to rank them in higher regards. To whichever the gallery appeals to we have compiled a list of the top five highest rated art galleries in the world. We hope you enjoy our findings and make a trip to visit them.

How do they price art?

citation

Hey everyone! Over the years I've been asked many times, "how do they price their works"? A lot of people new to collecting art can find it hard to believe the prices of pieces from different artists, and how they come to those numbers. Why is one artists little painting worth more than another artists sculpture?, or why is a charcoal drawing priced higher than a big oil painting?

A lot of collectible art is priced for many different reasons, and one of these is who the artist is. If the artist is famous, obviously their art is in demand purely for the namesake and popularity of the artist, which in turn makes it collectible. If an artist has been shown in several major galleries their works will be more popular due to the exposure they have had to the art world. One other way an art piece can be valued more than maybe a larger or more extravagant piece is due to the artist being deceased. When a popular artist passes away, most if not all of their art pieces become instantly collectable, and the little doodles and sketches never before seen can become worth a lot of money due to all the above circumstances. Art can be priced due to how long the artist took to complete it as well as what was used to create the piece. We at Trada will always explain why any of our pieces are priced they way they are, and we have been in the business of high end collectable art for a long time. When you come to Trada Art Studios, you can always count on quality and professional curators who will make sure your happy with your investment.
