Symbolic Meanings of Prices: Constructing the Value of Contemporary Art in Amsterdam and
New York Galleries
Abstract:
Through in-depth interviews, the paper addresses two pricing norms: one inhibiting art dealers
from decreasing prices; the other inducing them to set prices according to size.
—> author argues that price setting is not just an economic act but also a signifying act
Conclusion:
- people nd ways of communicating non-economic values via the economic medium of price;
prices tell a story not only about the money
- important to take cognitive and symbolic meanings of prices into account; eg. a price
increase might be analyzed as an increase in demand on the economic side, but might be
interpreted as a sign of quality to collectors or a source of self-esteem for the artists
- price decrease might also diminish belief in the value; price and value are constituted
simultaneously
- indications that cultural understandings of prices are pertinent to the bargaining rituals that
accompany price settings in these economies (cf. bazaar)
- pricing of consumer goods more complex than economic theory
- cognitive meanings of prices are relevant when uncertainty about the quality of goods is high
Art and Appropriability in Renaissance Italy and the Netherlands in the 17th Century: The Role of
the Academy
- What is the nature of the competitive processes on the art markets in these two place-period
couples?
- How are the characteristics pof art markets and the strategies artists chooses determined by
the available means of appropriability?
Introduction:
- during the 17th century, maybe artists were successfully employed
- visual art market very speci c and special, especially the relation between demand & supply
- high information asymmetries between between producers, dealers and consumers
- visual artists need backing of experts
- Italian Renaissance: radical change in selection system
Conclusion:
- 15th century: artists used to be painters were craftsmen who were organized in guilds;
selection system used to be very clearly a market selection (main customers = religious and
civic corporations)
- changes in demand (newly rich) also lead to changes in supply (artists become richer); artists
soon drive away from guilds and separate themselves from market selection (only possible
through presence of of adequate alternative means of appropriability)
- through the academy: peer selection and a measure of expert selection become dominant
- The Academy: tool to impress royal power and taste of the nation, controlled the system of
prizes and regular exhibitions
- Exception “Netherlands”: legitimation of power and wealth not such a signi cant motivation;
more people consumed art; —> competition on the art market became more free and less
regulated, after the 17th century: dramatic decrease in demand, which lead to academic
system
- a selection system can only change radically if alternative means of appropriability, suitable
to the new system, are found or created
