Another rant for the morning, that in almost all the "galleries" and restaurants displaying art there's been a new trend. Photographers printing their pictures on Canvas, (what was wrong with a photo?) and digital and physical artists making stretched "canvas" prints and selling them for hundreds of dollars.
Hardly anyone anymore is touching brush to paper or canvas.
Now - to rebel against these trends, these digitally printed canvases, they're worth nothing, about as much as Robert Bateman's "limited edition 1, 000, 000 prints, all signed by the author, for the WWF..."
These will never be worth the paper their printed on, and he's famous. And they have a "Limited Run"; even if it is a million copies, these other printed canvases, well, the author just goes back and prints as many as he sells you own nothing unique or of any value whatsoever.
If you were knowledgeable about art, and mindful of costs you could buy a limited edition print by Matisse or Dali; genuinely limited, and if you had an eye you could buy an original piece - one off; for the same price.
Anyways, there's no arguing the times, and these printed canvases are everywhere and will keep their value like a "Bored Ape" or NFT.
