I'm continuously amazed at the specificity and detail of the videos on Contemporary Art Issue. I've come to this channel dozens of times looking for something useful, and I've always found what I was looking for. Keep up the good work.
Keep’ em coming man! For those of us going though challenges (kills me how friends wish they could be doing what I do) your channel feeds the soul and stirs the fire😎🤙
Thankyou so much for this detailed information. I, too, always find myself returning to your channel - your detail and diligence is so much appreciated!
Additionally, I followed your link to purchase your COA template and found a great many resources. Just purchased the artist's bundle of templates instead! Once upon a time, I was prepared to create my own documents, however, these days my time is worth more to me so thankyou for already doing the work (plus I've always appreciated CAI's excellent minimalist formatting ;)
So glad you’re back. This channel is probably the best resource for artist trying to make it. I had a question I wanted to ask you since you’re familiar with the fine art industry. Does an artist need to be a painter to be accepted? I understand that their are plenty of successful artist using a different variety of mediums but I get the impression that painters seem to be golden standard. I use professional artist quality graphite and water soluble crayons. For personal reasons I cannot use paint. Does that hurt my chances in being able to work with galleries?
Happy to be back! Thank you for watching. Concerning your question, you do not need to be a painter to be accepted. However, it is a fact that the bulk of artists are painters, and that the bulk of collectors are buying paintings. The latest Art Market Report by UBS and Art Basel has shown that 64% of all sales (in value) were paintings, followed by sculpture (12%) and works on paper (10%). If you use graphite and crayon on paper or on canvas, you are definitely fine for the art market and art world in general. Go for it!
I just have to thank you for this important step, which is the certificate, which is recent for me. As I followed your description, I wrote down the certificate associated with a given piece of work. Thanks again and as you say ... bye.
@@contemporaryartissue A question that came to me when writing the first certificate: do I write it, standardizing for everyone, in English or do I write it in my native language, in this case, Portuguese? Thank you.
The main language of the global art world is English, so I would advise to use it-unless you're focusing specifically on your home country. All the best!@@luizhenriquedarochaazevedo7786
thank you this is really helpful for me, I am an art student who wants to sell my linocut prints and a certificate will help add professionalism to my product
Thank you for this video, some real gems of wisdom. When you state that it can differentiate sketches, studies and commissions from your official oeuvre; does this mean that the studies, sketches and commissions wouldn't get a COA? Or that they would still get a COA just that states that it is separate from your oeuvre? I am slightly confused, would these not count as part of your oeuvre?
The COA is an assurance or additional proof of authenticity and it includes more relevant information than just the signature of the artist, hence it being a very useful and important document, especially for collectors and art dealers.
I would make an art piece - Draw the certificate by hand on a canvas and then create a certificate about the artwork itself and frame it. It would be a commentary on originality and authenticity in the age of mass physical and digital reproduction. I would name it "Title"
