Affordable Art fair 2012

Went to the Affordable Art fair at the F1 Pit Building in Marina Bay South 3 sundays ago. Dont know what it is?  Well this is an event, started in LOndon 1999. Founder Will Ramsay started out with the mission to turn ordinary people into an art collector by introducing casing afforable art to the public.

In this fair, there were 2,000 artworks by 850 artists, costing less than $10,000- The overall quality of works at the fair varies.... some were pretty good & very value for money- others were just amateurish & over priced- haha... this I quote from some expert there! Those were mostly ignored by everyone...lol.....

Good Pieces were being snapped up, especially those which are easy to the eye, low priced by unknow artists. People buy pieces that "spoke" to them. After all even if the artist remains unknown, you are still left with something that's beautiful.. That's the whole point right?

We'll never understand the world of maddening auctions with the equally maddening art prices!!!! What would you do with a piece of art that costs millions of dollars? You'll have to insured it, place it in a vault perhaps..... how to enjoy it this way????
