Adjustments to pricing
Some have asked about adjustments to the pricing formula suggesting that complexity and number of figures has a part. Indeed they do, but I woke up this morning with another epiphany.
The real adjustment needs to be how strong or weak the piece is. Every artist, including the masters had great works of art as well as clunkers. The great works command high prices while the clunkers are deservedly low priced.
Therefore, here is my suggestion. Pick your price point ala price per square inch and then adjust up or down by how strong or weak you and trusted advisers might feel that piece is compared to your overall body of work. This does three things:
1) It automatically adjusts price for complexity and figures if they add strength
2) Price automatically gets adjusted upward as we acquire more skill and expertise.
3) Our art gets priced in the same fashion as the public perceives it.
