美術品の市場原理

market principles of art

昨年暮れから、なぜか美術品の買取の相談をよく受ける。できるだけ高く買い取るようにしているが、現実は厳しい。売れないものは買い取れない。

先日、美術品の価格ってどうやって付けるんですか？と質問を受けた。誤解の無いようにできるかぎり説明した。しかし、価格がどうあれ、買いたい人は買う。市場原理。

Somehow I very often have received requests for purchasing art works since the end of the last year. I always try to pay dear for them, but the reality is tough. I can not stock anything I can't sell.

Some days ago, a woman asked me how to set a price on artworks, so I answered her as well as possible not to be misunderstood. But, the price does not matter, just people who want would buy. Market principles.
