WHAT’S HAPPENING:
Our third SOS talk of the season is tied to that gnarly question every artist asks: How do I price my work? –And how does that other person’s work, so inferior to my own, go for all that dough?!
Led by Jesa Damora and art writer, critic, and artist Franklin Einspruch, our conversation will ramble across art movements from the 17th century onwards to explore this question. We’ll be talking about how value accrues to art, and falls away from it; who assigns it, what constitutes destruction of value, the differences in destructive acts, and how destruction creates souvenirs that are then imbued with their own value, or launches a new set of values…Richard Prince, Rauschenberg, J R and even Elvis Presley will have a seat at this inquiry.
Franklin Einspruch contributes regularly to Art in America and the New Criterion. He produces one of the longest-running blogs about visual art, Artblog.net, and a webcomic, The Moon Fell On Me. He produced a show last year at Winkleman Gallery in Chelsea, NYC from his anthology ‘Comics as Poetry’, for which FunnelCake Marketing did some research.
