Soup lines were commonplace in many major U.S. cities. While the WPA was primarily a program of bricks and mortar, it also put folks to work creating beautiful pieces of New Deal art. "Artists called this period a renaissance because it saved them from certain doom." Hundreds of artists produced thousand of pieces of art. Each one of them was meant to hang in a public place. Now there are collectors who seek art from the time period of the Depression. It has'nt been a secret that we are in the middle of a recession. Do artist stop creating? No. Perhaps there will come a time when collectors seek our artwork in this struggling economy. As for the correction of art prices. I dont agree. I will not change my prices. Most artist struggle and make sacrifices for years to become this proficient. Our struggles only increase during recession. They dont take any consideration in being more flexible in prices for our art materials. As for the Art Market. I have done better in the private sector and small art venues. I tried the Large Art Market in Chicago. That was a large mistake that I will not repeat. The large art market exhibitions cost too much to invest as a participant. I've sold half of my creations in one year just doing the small art venues. Investors just need to learn about the artist they are purchasing from. If the artist has dedication and is producing consistently. Art is an investment that will increase in value, if they choose correctly and hold onto their investment.

The top and bottom will probably drop out first. As we enter further into this reccession we will see inflated art prices fall dramatically from top end all the way to the bottom end of the market.

We like fantasy, role playing, hollywoood. We like to be Mr. Big Bux. We like to make ourselves look more interesting that we really are, hence INFLATED PRICING. I had an awakening realization the other night: Risk is the only thing that's real. The only thing. And in this over-insured, tax-written-off, corporate buy-out world we live in, we've tried to blot out RISK. Well now we pay for it. Or maybe i'm just in a crappy mood.
