"The Declaration of The Artist's Rights to be The Sole Appraiser of Their Own Works, and The Artist's Rights to be The Only Person Qualified to price Their Own Works"
This is " Stand # 1 ", in my series titled, " The Seven Stands of In God We Trust".
The price of this piece of art reflects the high worth of "The Stand", which I am here taking for the rights of good quality artists everywhere.
This drawing of a quarter, is the perfect piece of art to take such a stand with, because a quarter is an object with a specific determined value, which the American Government (who is the creator of the quarter ) has set forth and they have made that value clear to everyone. No on else, in the world, has the right to decide what it's value should be. Likewise, that is the same stand, which I am here taking, as the creator of this drawing, I am the only person, who has the right to decide it's worth and then price it accordingly.
"The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America" is an artistically documented historical stand. What kind of price tag would it have on it, right now, if it were to be auctioned off ?
It's common knowledge, that most excellent artists don't get their rightfully due fame and riches, until after they die. The so-called professionals, of the public art world, tell those excellent artists that they should price their artworks at very low prices, for mere peanuts. Then suddenly, as soon as you die, in the twinkling of an eye, those so-called professionals, of the public art world, or may I say "Those Crooked Vultures", come flying out of the woodwork, to buy up all of your artworks. Then they finally declare your artworks to be masterpieces, worth millions, when all through your life, those same people treated you, as if you were the scum of the earth. Such injustice only happens because, we artists, allow it to happen. Most artists are very timid and they have very low self-images. Their very low self-images are directly reflected in their insanely low prices, which they place upon their masterpieces.
So many superb quality artists just sit back and let people steal their artworks from them for a mere quarter an hour for their time, either because they are starving, or because their own extremely low self-image agrees that their artworks aren't worth any more, than a quarter an hour for their time.
Out of all the professions, that people choose, for a career, it can truly be said that "Fine Artists" are the prostitutes and the slaves of all the professions and they definitely need an artistic type of Abraham Lincoln, or Moses, to free them. Therefore, today, I make the following declaration to good quality "Fine Artists" everywhere; "The Declaration of The Artist's Rights to be The Sole Appraiser of Their Own Works, and to be The Only Person Qualified to price Their Own Works".
I, for one, refuse to die with zero self respect and footprints all over my face, from allowing the so-called professionals, of the public art world, to decide what my artworks are worth, and then accordingly hand me a bag of peanuts for one of my masterpieces. I am not a monkey that I should settle for peanuts for my top quality, excellently crafted masterpieces. It's those same "Crooked Vultures", who want me to sell my masterpieces for a measly bag of peanuts, who have raised "Refrigerator Art" up to iconic stature and multimillion dollar price tags, and they have exalted such extremely low quality artworks to chief places of honor in art museums all over the world. My definition of "Refrigerator Art" is "Drip paintings", "Scribble paintings", "Zip paintings", "One color paintings", "Color field paintings", "Ready mades", and all other artworks so decadently minimal that they are no higher in true quality, than a mere four year old child can do, and should truly be taken out of the art museums everywhere and put back on the refrigerators where they belong. Again, those so-called professionals of the last 100 years, have declared such decadent art as "The Triumph of American Art", and people all over the world laugh at us and refuse to take "American Art" seriously. Those so-called professionals, have totally become blind to what a true masterpiece looks like and what they are made up of and they have ruined "The American Art Market" by turning it into a laughing stock of the whole world. Therefore, the time for "Revival in Modern Art" has come. It's time for all good quality artists everywhere, to rise up and take a stand for the true worth of their masterpieces and for their rights to be the sole appraiser of their own works and the only person qualified to price their own works of art and also to take a stand against kindergarten, refrigerator art, being raised up to iconic stature and multimillion dollar price tags.
