Thanks for the basic stripped down definitions, helpful, from an emerging contemporary artist....

[stevegoldman]

Another amazing video buddy you are a very good teacher

[markotey]

Good vid. Your Hermes handbag video was fantastic btw. Keep them coming!

[IllPropaganda]

I'm always down to hear an expert talk about their arena of expertise!
Thanks, Shawn!

I'd love to learn about art. Art 102 coming up?

[mtgarenalover]

I am wondering if you would do another video for this topic? I do want to learn more about art as people in my surrounding rarely talk about this kind of topic.

[brendankappler]

You have a finance degree, but the depth of knowledge you have off the top of your head (videos are one long take!) is breathtaking! Thank you for the knowledge you continue to share!

[jimmyhimmy]

Got the definitions in my back pocket. Good video!

[KJensenStudio]

I have been an artist all my life, both fine and decorative (you gotta do what you gotta do), and I found your video very clear and right on. The hands and arms were a bit distracting though, and perhaps unnecessary? At any rate, thanks!

[brendankappler]

I love how you acknowledge this will be an unpopular video and you just say the hell with it and make it any way


Honestly, I prefer it that way because the ignorant will continue to be uneducated

[TheElectricUnderground]

Took art history and can confirm that this is accurate

[jsaldesign]

Loved the video! Would like to see more videos on the subject. I studied art history in college, but it would be nice to get a refresher on the terminology when it comes to the art market

[scourdx]

Great stuff. In the future I love your take on other art category like Photography art and sculptural art.

[CatsGamesWhatever]

Excellent concise and clear video. I'm looking forward to the series. I admit I've been put off by the seemingly high barriers to entry for art collecting. If there are any arenas that us little guys can operate in on these subjects please go into that if you get the time.

[bslangable]

Collect contemporary photography books in edition of 1000 or less (Todd Hido, Vivianne Sassen, Stephen Gill, Alec Soth) ..you can thank me later;). great vid Shaun!

[TheMysteryDriver]

Loving your videos.

If possible, could you in the future talk about some markets that are low cost to cut your teeth on?

[stevegoldman]

Hey Shawn i have a question for you could you do a video in the future on how a person could contact you if they wanted to hire you as a financial councellor i am wondering what the steps would be

[comiccowboy]

helpful video, I like the category. Outsider art is also booming (Bill Traylor for example)

[tdpetrucci]

Be interested to hear your thoughts on the market for "Kaws" collectables. It's sort of a mix between art and toys

[brendankappler]

Also, thanks for the reminder on that book! It's out of print and I was able to purchase the only reasonably priced copy at $26. The next poor bastard that goes to take you up on your advice is paying $50! Can't wait to get it and dive in
