Pastel News - an excellent blogs about pastel matters - is listing some statistics which I can't find on the IAPS website but have no reason to suppose are not true. To give you a sense of the size and nature of the entry, the statistics for the web show read as follows
- a total of 850 paintings were entered in the show
- of which 72 were selected for the exhibition. Works selected included: 22 Landscapes, 20 portraits and figures, 19 still life and florals, 10 animals and one abstract work
- Of these 66 are by pastel artists living in the USA. The remaining six works come from Canada (4) Sweden (1) and Australia (1).
- from 27 pastel societies which are members of the International Association of Pastel Societies (out of a total of 70 societies which are members)
- Of these the Society with the most 'placed' members is, unsurprisingly, the Pastel Society of America; its artist members had 21 pastel works selected for exhibition
- of which 7 works by PSA members are in the top 9 works
- 12 pastel societies have more than one member in the show. These are: West Coast PSWC (6), Southeastern (5), Canada (4), Colorado (3), Connecticut (3), Maryland (3), Great Lakes (2), New Mexico (2), Maine (2), Adirondack (2), San Diego (2), Mid America (2)
Pastel artists around the world will also doubtless be interested to see the prices of work on show!
This initiative by IAPS is very much to be welcomed and I hope they continue to do this for all future shows.
Hi Katherine,
ReplyDeleteThe statistics is not published by the IAPS, but is easily accessible by good old manual count :)
I agree that the really interesting statistics would come from those 850 entries, but that is up to IAPS.
Thanks for linking to my blog!!!
I averaged the prices for US works, and omitted the outliers - the ones I could see that were obviously out of the mean. The price, if expressed by the square inch, averages 7 dollars per. There were a number of the works in the 3 dollar ps/inch, and I also threw those out for my study.
ReplyDeleteAlways great to see this selection, and I especially applaud Marla Bagetta for her work.
Thanks Casey - I'm sure people will find that useful information
ReplyDeleteOf course there's a vast amount of difference between a price and a reciept for a sold work! However if one looks at artists' websites one can often see whether or not they are achieving their prices
