Damien Hirst Is Still the UK’s Richest Artist.
Art is an “alternative currency” of this historical moment.
Many people seems worried…they lost their jobs and needs to find an alternative way to make money.
How to pay the landlord or maybe how to buy food next month?
My advice: don’t worry, especially when you have lots of drawings, sketches around the house. Hope people will find you. If not you have to go and find them…ahah
Art products act as a currency, changing hands without leaving the warehouse, an storage facility or your studio. What?
The main difference from the US dollars, Brazilian real and UK pounds we keep in banks, is that art objects are singular. I’m talking about an original artwork, not a print. But prints also can make money.
Digital art is another thing. It can be sold many times…and it more like paper money.
A small town, the City of Tenino in US Washington State is printing its own currency. Again.
The city became famous 90 years ago during the Depression, after it became the first town to print wooden money. The only bank in the town had run out of money, so the city council decided to create their own.
