One of my coin sculptures from the late 90s, installed here as part of my Face Value exhibition, Gallery 19, Sydney, 1999. I was thinking a lot about the peculiar economics of contemporary art at the time, and wrote my master’s thesis on that subject. The international art market has grown considerably since then, and ultra high net worth investors (UHNWI) are some of the world's most prominent contemporary art collectors. 40,000 x 5c coins 300 cm x 150 cm – #contemporaryart #artgram #sculpture #installation #art #investment #money #nzart #artcollecting #artmarket #artworld #artcollector #artwork #artstagram A post shared by John G Johnston (@jjprojects) on Aug 21, 2017 at 3:02pm PDT
