David Hicky By Giuseppe Caschera

Value vs true value is the topic of discussion in this audio recording by David Hicky. Hicky claims that artists take pride in their work and this pride will be a major factor of the intrinsic value of the art work. However when someone just creates a price of how much a piece of art is worth just to make money, it creates an unjust value that is far from the true value of the art. There are a lot of artists that love money more than they love art. What he's pointing out is that there has never been a better time to act honestly and become an icon of virtue and if you do, you will indeed stand out. In todays art world, prices are created with the intent to make a large sum of money, and what Hicky points out is that this was not always the case. Originally art was valued by the creativity, and originality. Today that sense of value is clouded by a motivation to get rich.
