Perché prendiamo a riferimento le vendite nelle Case d'asta?
Perché sono pubbliche, chiunque può partecipare all'asta, perché le case d'asta sono obbligate e pubblicare i risultati delle vendite.
Tenete presente che il prezzo internazionale di un'artista fa riferimento al prezzo di vendita nelle Case d'asta, perché trattasi di contrattazione pubblica. Quando acquistate dalle Gallerie, dagli artisti la contrattazione è privata, a due, voi ed il gallerista o l'artista.
Why are we referring to sales in auction houses?
Because they are public, anyone can participate in the auction and they are obliged to publish sales results.
Keep in mind that the international price of an artist refers to the sale price in the Auction Houses, because it is a public negotiation. When purchased from the Galleries or from the artists, the bargaining is private, between two subjects, you and the gallery owner or the artist.
