I remember reading how he sold out at the art fair in Miami at the end of 2019, I believe Art Basel? That was my first time discovering him. Wow! I had an idea but didn't know how money hungry some parts of the art world can be! Thank you for preparing us emerging artists! 🙏🏼✊🏽❤️

Your videos are always on point! Love from a Nigerian artist.

Ghanaians are genius. His art works are damn beautiful.

Art doesn't have to be beautiful to be beautiful work

You gained a new subscriber from Ghana. Amoako Boafo's story brought me here

Hi Moriah, You are talented 🎨😁👏🧑‍🎄

I read that article you are referring to. and I felt like I was watching a movie, it was exciting and gut wrenching I loved it.

This why NFTs are important, if he made it an NFT with a physical copy upon purchase he would get paid a percentage with every resell

I really love all your videos, can’t wait for your next one!

Thank you for the explanation. I'm thinking about painting again. Great content!

Ross-Sutton gallery model should help with the flipping problem moving forward.

Wow I was planning to flip and collect as well but I hadn’t considered those elements that affect the artist! Makes sense thank you!

Great insight. Thank you so much for sharing

I'm glad I found your channel, you are amazing!

You deserve more subscribers! :)

I love this! I hope to be the artist of the century.

Thank you for this explanation!

If he wants to protect his creative integrity and his mental health as a TRUE artist, the funniest course of action is to give out his paintings for free. That will just f up with these capitalists.

Oh...and super dope video btw....I agree with everything u say - just giving my take from my own experience and also knowing quite a few of those folks that created that scenario...damn....its crazy.

Wow, that's impressive!

Facts

You forgot to mention the HOW

This dance yasssss

Great Content!

I’m trying to understand what factors determine what a painting is worth/sold for…..

Interesting....I know exactly what went down since I was a fly on the wall when it did. The reality however is just this the system of selling and buying art has always been broken - what we simply seeing now is just 1 of the thousand examples of what goes down on the regular. So to artists the real advice would be this: If you play in the woods filled with wolves - be prepared to get bitten. It is wishful thinking that parasites will ever vanish from this arena, infact it is the tiny percent of these parasites that actually keep the ecosystem like it is. As an artist I realised long time ago what the game is - if you know how to play the game then whether you get rewarded at times or burnt at other times you need to understand your plan B, C and D. We as artists are also a big part of the problem, as that feeds into this ecosystem, all involved is accountable on one level or another - not all artists are victims of this - many artists I know are greedy as f**k and are unable to play the long game. I make sure that I educate myself enough so I don't need people around me to even advise me, unless an artist is having a gun put to their head to sell.....this is the game.

Hi, Maria I never sols a piece of my art show me how I start please.

Thanks for being interested on african

Wow!! If I was Boafu I would price my art just as high as they would flip them haha.

Wow

fr tho, WHO DO I NEED TO SELL MY SOUL TO

Now with NFT's an artist will always get a percentage every time the artwork sell every time.

❤❤🇬🇭

👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👑

Greg analysis but you fine and stuff

HOW DO YOU STOP GREEDY PEOPLE FROM FLIPPING YOUR ART PEICES? I have already been thinking about how other people go and make more money on an artist work, especially when they are no longer on earth. Me as an Artist would want a Collector who genuinely will want my works and appreciate it and the story that comes with it, along with myself the artist being paid what God Almighty thinks I should be paid.

This is a cold game smh

👁👁

It's such a joke. 😂😡 I mean most of what she's saying. 😢
