To an art dealer, the value of a work isn&#8217;t necessarily reflected in its market value.<\/li>\n<li>The co-director of Frieze, a London art fair, says that you can see that dealers hang their art in a way to be as aesthetic as possible; not to make the most sales as possible.<\/li>\n<li>Advertising prices also creates the illusion that a particular piece of art is for sale, when it may well not be. Or at least, not to everyone.<\/li>\n<li>Critics however say not disclosing prices is simply about controlling markets. A dealer may want to sell to particular organisations or groups. An artist may want to get displayed at a prestigious location and be willing to slash prices for this to happen, but wouldn&#8217;t want anyone to know about it.<\/li>\n<li>Price disclosure is also all about reputation. Artists want their art to become more valuable over time, and the difference between how much a painting sells for the first and most recent time is taken as an indication of the artist&#8217;s calibre.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the full article written by a newspaper that would like more price disclosure, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theartnewspaper.com\/articles\/Dealers-prices-and-the-press\/30678\">here<\/a>.
