I believe there are collectors out there that don't even take a second look if something is 'inexpensive' - they buy stuff for bragging rights to show their friends.
When I exhibited at the Grand Salon in Bas Säckingen, there was this nice young Italian artists, Elisa Bertolini, quite talented, who showed a striking large portrait of a homeless man - the price was one tenth of what other paintings there were. Pavlina and I counselled her about pricing. I said if somebody doesn't snap that up right away, then there must really be something wrong with the crowd. But you might as well just give it away.
would you believe € 750,-? I said she is nuts!
