What was being promoted was inexpensive art. The concept is that the cost of another photographic print is relatively low compared to a painting so why not do a Wal-mart? If the price is lower then more people will buy and appreciate the work in question so the photographer in the end makes more. A sub theme of the editorial is that limited editions make sense to a gallery but not necessarily the artist. The arguments logic turns on some work is more in demand than others so the artist makes money once but the gallery makes money as the in demand work resells over and over as the price goes up. The flip side of this is Crazy Eddy who sold so low the company is gone. Now where did I put the Nomex?
