From the many films and a podcast that we listened to over our course of the year, I am able to see daily how art is effected by who buys it and or who sees or wears it! Recently, pop and r&b singer, Rhianna, has purchased over 34 grand in artwork by pop cartoonist, Todd Goldman. The star is seen in the gallery of the now very famous Todd Goldman because of the purchases made by Rhianna. Todd's art collection values are skyrocketed to the high hundred of thousands because of the publicity that he has received from twitter, face book, and all other media sources/ blogs as well. Anyone who has already invested in this artist is looking to see millions if this trend keeps happening of celebrities such as Rhianna, that keep purchasing the artwork and making the value increase so that very little "normal" people would have the luxury of owning Todd's artwork. And although, many people have seen various pieces by Todd either on shirts or on different odds and ends, the price of his artwork and value has been measured by society's value in what the celebrities by and not that they actually like the artwork.
Purchases of Rihanna are below:
