ROThe article discusses how the value of an artwork is determined, using examples such as Leonardo da Vinci's 'Salvator Mundi' and Paul Cézanne's 'Card Players,' which saw significant increases in estimated value over time. It explains that the value of an artwork depends largely on the artist's market status, influenced by factors like demand and supply. The secondary market, dominated by auction houses, plays a major role in setting records, while the primary market involves galleries and dealers who launch artists' careers. According to a 2021 Australian study, the collective cultural contribution attributed to an artist significantly influences their work's valuation rather than physical characteristics alone. The article emphasizes that recognition within the art world, rather than technical skill or time invested, determines an artwork's worth.
