Kelly CrowOn the night artist Anna Weyant’s work debuted at Christie’s, the 27-year-old painter was too nervous to attend or even watch the livestream. Instead, Ms. Weyant holed up in her small Manhattan apartment and listened to a calming app on her cellphone until a friend texted with news.
“Summertime,” Ms. Weyant’s portrait of a woman with long, flowing hair that the artist had sold for around $12,000 two years before, resold for
moneylaundering
'rich friend of nobody artist buys overpriced painting to launder money'
My art sells for $4 today.... who's looking to get in on the ground floor? Huh? Ground floor art! Comes complete with money laundering services.
Just sleep with a successful gallery owner and a star is born. Great lesson for young artists. You can be shit, just be fvckable (this is not a new thing... ie Basquiat and a thousand other pop artists)
This is a depressing article for any budding young artist
Uh.......oookaaayyy then.................
$400 on a beach is great, she shouldn’t have sold out
great for her. its good to see someone succeed
My favorite form of art is called Rhetoric, not that I consider myself of the classic Greek school, but Socrates was a pioneer. It postulates that it isn't the most valid course of action that rules but the most popular, even when that leads to complete and utter disaster.
cc:annaweyant is this true?
Go get'em kid.
She’s really, really good!
The one picture is better than the rest...just sayin'... great potential though.
Great artist.
“She’s also dating her dealer, Larry Gagosian” That is the real secret to her success!
arts is like training children to trans, people been TOLD and TRAINED about good or bad art piece.
So the art is the same, but the price changed?
From $400 to $1.6 million a piece! Perfect example of grit and determination.
Why...
👏👏👏
