If you're interested in the power of the Internet and blogs in particular, take a look at the blog for onethousandpaintings.com and a graph illustrating the sale of paintings from the time the project started in February. As of today, Sala has sold 448 paintings. But until 3 days ago, he had only sold 106. That means in 3 days he has sold 342 paintings!
That is thanks to getting boosted on major websites and throughout the blogosphere. If you're interested in viral marketing on the Internet, study this campaign.
Anthony White started his Money Series at one Australian dollar and it continues up in one dollar increments. When he sells one painting in the series for the dollar amount on the canvas he then works on selling the next one in the series. He has also branched out into British Pounds and US dollars. You can see his work at www.anthonywhite.net
I think I find the simplicity of Anthony White’s pricing of his “Money Series” more interesting than Zala’s One Thousand Paintings. White probably highlights the relationship between art and money better.
