How Much Is That Painting Worth? An Essay on the Value of Art.
Edwards, M. D.
Art Education, v44 n1 p9-13 Jan 1991
Considers the true value of art by outlining a number of factors that determine the price of a painting including the fame of the artist, the time of the artist's death, and the age of the work. Concludes that students should be encouraged to consider the emotional, aesthetic, and intellectual worth rather than the monetary value. (KM)
