The Cost of Beauty
There are various factors that affect the cost of a piece of art, the biggest factor is if it is an original handcrafted piece, a limited edition reproduction or a mass produced piece. The cost of these of course goes down in value the less unique the piece is.
Another factor is the skill and fame of the artist, are they a budding new artist? If so you may be able to get a good deal on a piece of art that you enjoy and that fits in your room. So Chic works with several artists from veterans to talented newcomers. There are quite a number of artists who are willing to do commissioned work, however, this can be a time consuming and expensive way get what you want and it may not turn out the way you envisioned in your mind.
Limited edition prints or reproductions cost significantly less than original pieces, however be aware that many reproductions are Chinese manufactured that use flimsy nylon canvases and are simply printed onto the canvas. As with all things reproductions do vary in quality and you should always be wary when buying them online. It is best So Chic keeps a number of original, limited edition prints and quality reproduction in our Windsor and Cockfoster showrooms. We highly recommend that you view the piece of art be it a sculpture or a painting in person to best judge its quality.
