The Fine Art Photography Market's Most Bankable Stars: "Every few months, it seems, a fine art photograph is sold at auction for an astronomical price and then takes its place among the world’s most expensive photos. The price tags are large, but pale in comparison to the hundreds of millions of dollar shelled out for the world’s priciest paintings. . ."
Art in the digital age : the entertainer: “It’s just photo manipulation.” “The software does all the real work.” “Anyone can do it.” These are common misconceptions about digital art as a creative medium. That’s what digital art isn’t, but what exactly is it? In the very basic sense, it’s pixels, layers and rasterization — art created using the computer. But like any art form, it’s much more complicated than that. One of the most common misconceptions is that digital art isn’t really art. Corvallis artist Patricia Smith, whose work can be seen downtown at Cloud & Kelly’s Public House and Block 15, creates entirely in digital, which she said isn’t always embraced by other artists. “A couple of older, more established artists in the community came up to me and asked me, ‘What would you call yourself?’” she said. “And I said, ‘Well, I’m an artist.’ The people just kind of stood there and thought about the answer, and said, ‘Well that’s interesting.’ They don’t think that what I do or what my friends do is art.” Smith explained that there are four schools of digital artists: Artists who work in digital and traditional simultaneously, artists dedicated solely to digital, artists who started in digital and are returning to traditional mediums, and those — like Smith — who began with traditional and switched to digital. . . .
