She would have negotiated the price with her before she started framing. Or do you see shit and without pricing you expect the seller not to attach worth to his shit.
To you it's shit to the owner it's value but to art fans every art worth millions if seen from a different perspective.
I will be glad to be a part of the problem of this wretched country if I'm preaching value addition.

I bet people like you that are well exposed gives flowers to lover? Oh I must be so wrong.
Please don't argue about art if you like food. You will simply make a full of your self.
Simply Google some of the worlds best selling art. Find out why people (billionaires) pay so much for it. Now because na naija poor girl from a poor background you people are foaming.

She would have complimented her with a simple like or even ignore the work instead of coming online to expose her low understanding about art thinking she's embarrassing the girl. If you disagree with the price must you use it to trend.
All of una na d same.
You're completely missing the point, the girl drew the art on her own free will right, no contract whatsoever with the celebrity lady,...now the celebrity saw it admired it and said she wanted it, she went ahead to frame it and like that it's 120k..haba na, that's just taking advantage, and just go and read the girls chat she wasn't even polite. Things are not done that way.
I've been in a similar situation before so I understand, I did an architectural rendering for a company I was hoping would hire me, without their knowledge spent some time on it, took it to the manager he loved it and said I should give the accountant my account number and I was paid more than I imagined and got hired. What if I went there after he liked it, I just slammed a price tag?

PS:

All I see is desperation from the Artist point of view, he want to become rich once and for all, by billing her. Since him, himself said it's a once in life time opportunity
He forgot he should take things in gradual process who knows she would have connected him with more prominent personalities that would have promoted his work. Some people lack sense sha cry cry

To be honest the artist is rude.


Rude and entitled and tactless.

She said "opportunity comes but once," which means she's acknowledging that the 120k is a blow-up.

1) the art is not from this century

Akunyi art was sold hundred of millions and it is just few years old... Now that has floored your assertion

2) the medium it is drawn

ART can be on any medium be it carving, sculpture, canvas or even paper....so you failed again

3) the artist who drew it
The artist who drew it added value and time to it then framed it... That is another flaws in your assertion

4) technique used in making the art
The technique is sketvh work and it is accepted Globlally... Do you have a problem. With that

5) mood it conveys
The mood it conveys is that of potrait and it isn't a landscape or abstract.

6) Cultural significance
The milieu of the work is in tandem with the cultural realities.... Do you have a challange with it

7) uniqueness and a whole other factors
What other factors are you talking about...

The artist has the right to put a price tag on her work please
At the price it is worth.

Blessing obviously doesn't think the value is worth what the fan charged.

she would have offered her what she think it is worth or better still ignore it and move on


Most art works are done by bidding or commissioning and she even told the young artist to even frame it to add value to the canvas

True.

Blessing was just being petty, and the artist was a little greedy.

A lost opportunity, and blessing just ruined the artist.

I understand the artist posotion... She is young and elated that she got to do a work for a star but unfortunately for her the star didn't appreciate the work and the anger is understandable

Everyone wants his or her work to be appreciated... The client didn't even offer a price... Only ranted and told her off after telling her to frame it. I think that is totally wrong and not only dad, bringing a private chat public... That is breach of trust


The artist isn't greedy to me... She placed a value in her work. She can decide to sell it for a million. You dolt monetize creativity

Some musicians are paid 100k per show while some are paid 1 million per show while some are still paid 10 million per show... It depends on the value the artist wants to place on her art. Will you call her greedy

Our digital footprints eventually will help others understand us better when we are no more. Let me respond on this thread which I rarely do for such topics.
The celeb should understand that an artist normally should have a value for his or her product. The person's current social standing shouldn't be used to gauge if he has the right to demand a price or not. When you see a nice product and approach the producer, what you expect is a negotiation. If you strike a deal then transaction becomes successful. If not, there's no need for name calling. The artist was immatured and rude in her last responses but she has the right to place a price on her work.
We must stop this habit of looking down on people simply because of their economic status. If a person's work is deemed good, appreciate it and bargain if you want it simple. Expecting a poor man to appear beggarly because you want to patronize him is a very wrong orientation here in Nigeria. It should be stopped.

see that failed statement: "that money shouldnt be a problem for you" is why many of these people will always fail!!! just because someone has money, they will expect them to pay exhorbitant price as if money grows on trees. rule of money: no matter how rich you are, never pay more than what something is worth!

only a deluded fool thinks that you should pay 100 for something that is worth 10!

What poor people again fail to understand is that the rich have budget every month if not every week so any money they have is for something even if they have in excess. So whatsoever is not budgeted money can never be released for it.

I respect creativity...

If you decide not to give her money.... Please keep it to yourself


She doesn't understand arts... Some arts can be sold for 100 million... Some people sell portrait so much.... 120k isn't upto $1000 dollars it's just about $180 USD na him people dey make noise....

Big boys dey buy pencil work portrait for over 2 milli... It depends on how much the artist want to sell...

You don't tell her what to sell her work....

She is a decent girl working for living and not using her body and she must be Commended


At least she has visible skills.... We must respect that..


This art work is expensive

Go ahead and read your reply again..we were talking about why billionaires as you call them pay millions for art and not the girl's portrait... I think you have a problem understanding, I listed certain criteria that make art expensive, and you've just proved my point.. Take a look at Akunyi's art again, look at the technique used and medium, you'd definitely find that it is unique and worth the money...stop arguing with yourself and just look at things critically..

There are a lot of portrait artists out there, a lot in Nigeria use white cardboard or emboss paper with graphite pencils which is common, now an artist draws "you" with that and brings it to you and another does the same portrait but on glass..like that guy that does portraits on glass by using a hammer, which would you pay more for?..

even if she receives them as gift you know the pain artist could through to build up his craft. she that is trying to push the idea of don't sell your body to men" sees a budding young female artist and cannot encourage her.

even if it's not the 120k that's high for an incomplete work but at least reason her na the 70k too is low considering cost of materials and delivery.

anyway the artist show low self esteem qua but n.a. small small. I just dey imagine how she go dey feel when she read this woman post

i don't think she have a choice at this point, because she have started begging for the cost of framing it,which is 7k,at this point i don't think mrs attention seeker is interested again, all she care about is how to post the story on social media. If the girl told 120k is based on how she valued you ,which personally i think it was wrong. But i am seriously feeling for the young girl for the extra cost she must have incurred while doing it.

Blessing Okoro should, please, make the artist day by collecting the painting and sending the artist the 100k she initially had in mind to give to her.
Before doing the above she should lecture the artist on the intricacies of business networking, which states that when you are coming in contact with a top business personality or celebrity, the first move you should make is not to ask them for money as this often offends them, but ask them for links that will help your business grow, which eventually will end up giving you tons of money than the little dash of money the celebrity will give you.
If the artist was not too money conscious, she would have sent the picture, without demanding for money, to Blessing Okoro, she should have known innately that she will get some reward from her.
The artist can then plead with her to put up the picture in a very conspicuous place in her office, where visitors and clients will see it, as this can generate further businesses, maybe bigger businesses, for the artist.
Blessing is not a celebrity. She got fired from inspiration FM. Go find out what she did

"Why The Rich Run From The Poor": The Artist Who Drew Blessing Okoro's Portrait (Photos)



https://www.instagram.com/p/CYjYWZ7NqO2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

'Let us judge this matter
So a random fan drew me, put it in her story, I saw it and acknowledged it, to support her I said frame it and send me I will pay for it. According to her she framed it and asked me to pay 120kv, added her account no. I felt irritated, I ignored her, she brought it down to 70k Now its funny how she is giving me price for something I willing wanted to buy to reciprocate love back . So I kuku told her to take it to the art gallery and sell it for same price . Funny enough I get art works over 12 as gifts free. Now you see why the rich run from the poor Now you see why people especially celebrities never respond to you , because you always want to rip them off. Change your mind set and stop being a collected, honestly I wanted to dash her 100k. Learn to be a aiver. vou must not always collect.
'
Bia This woman,, You should just sharrap..
You started the whole nonsense by saying that you would PAY for it.
..
Like, you wanted to do business..
So she named her price.
..
If you said “I will show you some love”, she wouldn't see you as a client.
