Burglars broke into a stately home and robbed works of art that is nearly worth 15,000 pounds. Art in general is the human expression and application of human imagination and skill. Being valued at 15,000 pounds is an understatement. Art works have gone on to be valued for millions and millions of dollars. Why though?. That's something we will find out through this analysis. What makes art valued to such a large extent?. The most expensive artwork of all time has been valued at 300 million dollars!. Not even a house is worth that much and I'm sure most people (just my opinion) could do a lot more with a house than just a painting.
We could first say that art is valued so much because of how unique it is compared to other mediums. Art conveys a lot of things that speaking and writing cannot. There are a lot of thoughts artists like to hide through their pieces of work, maybe those thoughts could be political or suicidal even, who knows...... Art overall has an unpredictable factor in it and there have been many artworks where there has been a misinterpretation with its true meaning. A lot of the time, artists have produced works where there has been criticism because we don't really know how to interpret that piece of work and that mystery is something unique found only in art and not in anything else. Therefore this could be one clear reason in why art is valued so high.
Another factor could be the social sciences factor. Art in society has just been valued for centuries for now and it has just always been that way. We can bring in economics in this regard because it just naturally has been valued so high (by the rich of course) and there has been no changes to that when we look at it from the economic standpoint. The economy has been over centuries valuing some goods more than others and it definitely looks like paintings and artworks finds itself on the good end of the spectrum. Some things have been just a constant mainstay in the economy and in the social sciences in general and artworks prices have always been valued this high like houses and cars have been.
The aesthetic part is what stands out in this. There are many artworks that are just absolutely absurd and unreal looking and you have never seen anything else that looks like them before. The aesthetic factor plays a big part as many legendary artists like Picasso have created works of art that are people just cannot replicate today and it is something you have never seen before. This is probably the main reason why it is valued to such a large extent.
A small possibility could be that there is a correlation between the rich and love for art as I am sure most of the rich is so fond of art and that is why they purchase artworks in the millions range.
