Do you consider marketing an art form? Yes you market/promote people for the money, but I believe it is an artform because you can't just throw somebody out there and expect them to sell (I am a BCC fan and know this very well). To me you have to have creativity (the root of art) to be able to market someone well. So what are your thoughts on marketing and promotion as an artform? Yes this Q is for you. Bonnie, this one can go on for days. Marketing is a huge art, you have to make things look better than they are. And you can't do that without art. Music takes talent, so can you denounce music as an artform? Bonnie, I guess we agree to disagree, I sure did miss your essay answers while you were gone.

What sustains black markets for priceless art and antiquities? When a well-known masterpiece of art, or a priceless antiquity is stolen, presumably there is somebody willing to pay for it.

Nor can you publicize your collection if it includes stolen items. So what drives the black market for priceless artifacts?

To make an artwork like this in today's art market with so many rich people spending so much money, it is only natural. What do you think?

Contemporary Asian Art Market Insight? I am researching what individuals think about Contemporary Asian Art Market. Over the years this particular art sector has shown increased sales at auctions which prompts me to ask would this market be wise for investment in the future? There are numeous variants that are to be considered in this question such as: Is this ascension a reflection upon the influences seen/applied by numerous Early to mid 20th Century artists and their corresponding pieces of work? OR Is the sector becoming more exposed due to the social/political/economical expression of the past which contemporary asian artists are bringing to light? Overall - I'm just looking for YOUR opinion on the matter - on the art itself - artists to watch - investment predicitions - anything and everything!! Thanks in advance.
