How do you price realistic art?

1 Answer
How do you price realistic art?
How you price realistic art depends on a variety of factors. If you're trying to determine how to price your own work, experts generally recommend multiplying the length by the width and then multiplying the results by a rate you establish, such as $5 or $6. When selling realistic art produced by another artist, consider the historic selling prices of their work, the size of the piece, the condition and the historical significance. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer can also provide you with a fair market value for any art that you own. Explore a large collection of realistic art on 1stDibs.
