How To Sell Art For Millions Of Dollars!

How to sell art for millions of dollars?

The trick to selling art is to remember that the value or worth of art, is not truly quantifiable in dollar amounts. Meaning it's all perspective of worth, it is how the art makes the person feel, and the worth or value that they are willing to pay for the art. Which is different for everyone, because everyone thinks and feels differently. Most importantly people have different budgets, so you have to present your art to the right person, at the right time. 

Ask yourself the question where would my multimillion or billionaire clients (individuals or businesses) be at? What neighborhood, street, state, country are they at? or are they online? And if so how do I get in contact with them? Usually, if something is done really well, in our case, your artwork. It has a way of selling itself, especially if it is worth a million dollars. Art collectors have a way of showing up, to your doorsteps, and when they see the art they like and when they do you bill them.

Here are some guidelines to go by, to help you produce art that is worth a million dollars. This is just my opinion, however, I do recommend you answer the following questions, genuinely, it will assist you in creating that million-dollar art piece.
