barter


Lately I have been thinking about the value of art. Art is worth what people pay for it. Is a Picasso worth 60 million? Perception is what matters. Really is manifested through perception and it is through agreement that we come to think that a Picasso, or any art is worth a lot of money. Today I treaded a watercolor for a $44 flashlight. I didn't need the flashlight but I was curious about what value a piece of paper with a picture I made has for people. I intend to shine a light on the idea of the value of art and the relationship to perception vs. reality.
