Many people are full of doubts: “How much does it cost to make a sculpture
Seemingly unattainable, it seems to have put on a layer of “art” and become mysterious? These are all doubts of outsiders through a layer of window paper.
Not moving, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, sounds like a lot of money. Listening to it, doing one order can prevent hunger for three years. It makes people feel ecstatic, like little deer bumping around.
All costs are labor costs!
Sculptures worth hundreds of thousands of dollars are nothing more than a commodity when the fog clears.
You can dismantle any product infinitely. Ultimately, it can always be disassembled into basic raw materials and manually processed. And raw materials extracted from nature do not require payment to God. So ‘cost’=labor cost. Although their names may be workers, sculptors, contractors, project managers, ZF, or ZF tax collectors, they are not important. This is a very, very important fundamental theorem.
If you see such essence, you won’t feel mysterious when looking at any industry.
information gap
I often encounter many people who create other types of landscapes. For indoor ones, the price of your sculptures is very high, and the bargaining space is high. We make landscape and indoor prices too transparent.
So the reason why sculptures look expensive is because they are not essential, the industry is small in scale, the transaction rate is low, and they are not standardized. Perhaps due to the small size of the industry, it is difficult to form enterprise and scale, so many productions still rely heavily on manual labor and are difficult to standardize. Something that is difficult to standardize has a lot of information gap, which creates bargaining space.
