tightens bait. fin. funds at 9 or 9 fish was sold to an art collector in 2015 for over $46000000.00. the emergency food of food. i always have the feeling that everything is botched. but on the other hand, yes, it's better than others. that's usually how it goes with ah, what makes got christ as so extraordinary? why did he become one of the most expensive contemporary artists in the world and are established artists about to end up site lined by digital innovations? light, none fungible tokens out from veiled, follows the money on the international market.

get honda vista has just caused a small sensation in berlin by providing the german capital with a long term loan of 100 of his ard works. they went on display at the noise, that's when i got up he early this spring. a special room in the exhibition is devoted to the 2014 buick and out cycle vistas. artistic examination based on photos of the darkest chapter in german history. the holocaust stuff. azusa approaches his paintings in a very, very reflective and complex way. when the young, of course, he has a long background in painting and imagery. so he is very aware of what a picture can express is also looking con, citrus. it is, of course i address issue that will move me, but critical painter sounds a bit nic alex,

a soon pursue legacy from frank o. for decades, gearhart vista has been one of the world's most important contemporary artists. his success is unparalleled. he's one of the greatest, the most expensive, the most famous artists of our time. we met him at one of his most recent public appearances in expressing his creativity and words doesn't come easily to him. it's been often as it's tomorrow. my main interest is to paint through my position. oh, i don't know. that's difficult. the curious if i need them to do what i want for the selfie fields at $91.00, his works re record prices on the art market on his itself and fish beside it. but i feel he's a special case because he grew up on the national socialism that was educated under

socialism, and then became successful under capitalism. he's a high so he does have a complex background. this is from the complex, very difficult, but perhaps even pointless. apps is stereotypical question is also part of it. what were you thinking about? you can't think of anything because painting is a different form of thinking was. gearhart vista was born in dresden in 1932 the german city was reduced to rubble during world war 2. in the years following the war, germany was divided into east and west. president was in the heart of what was now communist east germany. in 1950 he applied to study at residence university of fine arts, but was rejected an intriguing footnote in the career of this internationally renowned artist a year later he applied again this time he was accepted. ready in

dresden, we meet a long time friend of the artist. deed my alga is the director of the god of h to archive and also wrote a biography of him. he explains why vision left communist east germany a sculptor. that's why it took them after the 2nd documentary gratian to experimented with abstraction. but these works had to stay in the draw in communist east germany. he couldn't really show them on the and from this became the desire to continue this work in a different political situation. without that being the decisive factor. so it wasn't a political decision, but rather a decision for a different kind of auction as by and i china until const aah. vista fled to the west in 1961. his later success is likely due to his unusual biography. few artists experienced both germany's. he made a conscious decision to go to dusseldorf. at the time it was

a major hub of artists and collectors. he studied at the prestigious dusseldorf art academy meeting fellow artists, including sigma poca khan hard lu egg. and man said kutner. they created what was done to capitalist realism as a reaction to the socialist realism of the communist east. as panic of mine shaft, it was an important community for him because of the live the exchange cops. it was a whole new world images, a media world, newspapers, or magazines with helen to palest. let that he discovered it done through the and from which he created his own artistic world of it. shuffled. like many other artists in the 19 sixty's christian also processed western consumerism in his early work. he found inspiration and magazines fascinated by the interplay of reality and appearance. he painted photo realistic images, deliberately blurring them. them as, as for clash, matea, if i compare it with

a newspaper, clipping, what he's done is turn a small printed image into a large picture on his painted image. takes on a more photographic character just by the fact that it seems blurred, aimed out to the focus on shop, to bestow bridge, to actually wanted to take photos with his painting. it was a time when people thought painting no longer played a role. right began, painting has become superfluous. we have photography. we have thousands of millions of pictures. we don't need painting a toll any more. and in this time, rich to succeeded in asserting the importance of painting over photography. so hope the few other artists are as eager to experiment. as gahan vista, his interest in arts potential is boundless. o, for decades, he has also worked with abstraction. these abstract works are the ones that sell an

astronomical prices. anacortes and gentlemen, we move on to the extraordinary character, the $192.00 father. the 1st work in rick is expensive color child series and the alt is very 1st abstract painting. the pre auction price for this piece was estimated at $16.00 to $20000000.00. what makes a single piece of work by a contemporary artists so valuable the work belonged to a collector's family. one that hard expert bastion lighter has known for years. good relationships are crucial in the art market. trust is a precious commodity. the work 100 sy annoyances father was privately owned for 40 years. gahan finished a created the peace in 1966 influenced by pop art and industrial color sample cards . this seminal work was also the basis for a stained glass window in the cologne cathedral, designed by a vista unveiled in 2007 is one of the german artists most popular works

at 12 bastion loiter, attended. the much anticipated auction. the fish to expert believes its high estimated value was justified. friend, this is sounds, i mean this is a very radical painting. it's the 1st abstract work he painted right. and when you consider what he would do later on in life, the 1st abstract work is quite a groundbreaking statement. yeah, i'm saga. i'm going to saw the bidding here at 10000000, 500000 pounds, and 10000000, 500011 1000000. 12000000 prompts torbella's 500000 pounds. 13000000 pounds. 14000000 pounds. thank you. 50000000. 200 pounds. at 15000000. 700005. thank you very much. on the snap for 7 minutes, the painting went to an anonymous buyer. all said and done, it cost more than $20000000.00 us dollars. why is some one prepared to hand over such a sum throughout his artistic career vista had strategically build his position in

the market. data from receptions. he already had a 3 galleries in the 3 different german cities by 960 fool guns, and it really took off from math help. suddenly in 1966, he had a gallery and exhibition in a gallery in venice and in another italian city to that. so he positioned himself well, very early on the school, was it soon yet pushed a knew how to market himself and how to win over gallery owners and collectors. legendary gallery owner mary anne goodman was instrumental in establishing him in the u. s. market. she introduced alleged her to the most influential collectors is i can finish it up. he had his own ideas and he wasn't influenced by trends. and i think that's the big problem to day. that sometimes artists because they don't have enough time anymore to develop as they are actually let themselves be influence too much by the slight guys doesn't fish, does work, has been photo realistic abstract. and he's even experimented with digital

techniques throughout his career. his work has taken unexpected turns. his art react to developments in society. provokes debate. for example, with his series of paintings on the activities and deaths of the ari of terrorists, the red army faction a left wing extremist group and germany killed. 34 people from the 1970s to the early 19 nineties revealing deep cracks in west germany list, his focus was less interested in the victims than in the perpetrators and approach that drew criticism for looked at the ceiling of lucas b. it the fact that mr. grew up in east germany under a very strict def political ideology, certainly played a role yet instead, yet again, he was confronted with ideology. ari of terrorism was politically motivated,

at least originally fully tish. it came out of the student movement homelessness and wanted something, although it later evolved into pure political terrorism. and i'm the to tell, hopefully this entire volume to for fish and figured out onto these of this futility of woven public and private ideologies. dean, this failure of ideology. lucky. this is confrontational with a common hope often all indeed for which then also does failed terribly wise at that for every why that them 2nd give are crowding that i, her po, traces and there are many victim. he does a absolute, offered a few, not far. the failure of ideology, i think, is what interested wish to your leaving lesson wilson is a side on one, e d. o. he does is the scholars list are in place yet out wish to explore the wounds and scars of german history and his own family. to uncle hoodie

and the s s next to aunt marianna, a victim of the nazi euthanasia. policy, the artist, questions if it is possible to paint the horror of the holocaust. ah . in 2014, he again came across old photos that moved him deeply. they are the only known pictures taken secretly by prisoners of a special corpse burning unit in the outfits book, an hour concentration camp. the basis for the beacon ow cycle of works ah, vista rendered the 4 photographs with charcoal and oil paint on the 4 canvases. then gradually painted over them abstractly. working from july to september 2014. with each layer, the painted template disappeared

a little more until it was finally no longer visible. the paint covers and yet the horror remains palpable, indelible beneath. ah, the spawn fortress de, from ireland, the photos were taken by an inmate and smuggled out shelf good, reasonable, but they were very blurry. edelmans are doth, you can't make out my check. it is as yet, but you can see something absolutely horrible was happening in tuscany. when he found these folks as he was a fascinated fort and tried to capture them in paintings in my law to give them deep annoying cause and presence that done. abigail in thus he but he realized the painting can't achieve that alcohol license. can't achieve the show and intensity that i of these are different photos in the book laughed in and he

started to abstractly paint over there and find the half finished image. yes, it's been obstruct sort of a mine. this does be a canal cycle, is one of his most seminal works. he reproduced the 4 paintings and several different forms, including an aluminum print for the high stock building in berlin. he sees the paintings as a way to engage in a conversation about what art can contribute to the culture of remembrance. now, at over 90 years, old lister has given up large format painting and gifted the pieces to berlin on permanent loan. a legacy deliberately left not to his native city of dresden or his adopted home of cologne, but to the prussian cultural heritage foundation in berlin. that sucrose yachting sla cycle has already been a topic of discussion worldwide,

causing quite a sensation it. it was on a world tour, you could see it in japan, america, many places. it makes a strong statement that these images are intolerable. they can't be shown artistically, at least not directly. they need to be a raised through cala and abstraction. it's like a mirror, an invitation to the observer to reflect and to come to terms with the subject matter. it's a very interesting concept, the sort of commemorative space that makes you ask yourself, what can a painting convey and where are its limits as a medium from la. ready for some 2 decades gearhart vista has been at the top of the international artist ranking cons to compare us. ready his position in the art market consolidate his artistic value since the 1980s his works had been sold at staggering prices, especially the so called squeegee paintings,

where he uses flexible perspex to distribute pain. abstract painting, $599.00, sold for over $46000000.00 as somebody should pay off on. it's also a reality that at the moment which does later abstract pictures have a higher value than his early photo realistic looks. and this is strange and away, because there are many more of the abstracts than of the artists only works it here, it's current tastes which of course, play a big role. that in particular, it's the work from 986 onwards, which are of course, very, very recognizable and have a very high aesthetic impact to fulfill. that's definitely the case. and that naturally appeals to many people, including some of those who are now collective, those he pay really high prices. the works of arts back are of course often people who do not necessarily have the background, who are perhaps not so incredibly well versed in art history. eloquence because she fell skin pushed her, had plenty of time to develop as an artist. the pre digital age was far less fast

paste than the 21st century. he had to give up the large format, squeegee paintings due to dwindling strength. but he still paints small formats to this day. i'm tired and the cost of the significance is the panoramic spectrum of his paintings, including the elements of chunks and technicality with him, in so far on to technicians. but it's also due to the fact that the strategies to verified in some of his compositions are so unique and thought provoking. and the isaac artic sent on to belong in aka dot. we haven't glitched his work has an extraordinary resonance. the buchanan cycle is set to get its own room in 2026 in the museum of the 20th century. currently being built at berlin's call to reform, there the cycle will find its final home

which does isn't the only work fetching sky high prices. the aunt market is dominated by big money and some of the aren't going under the hammer at the major auction houses. doesn't even have a tangible form to some known, fungible tokens all and f t's are fed but to others that the future every days, the 1st 5000 days apiece by the digital artist people wrote art history when it unexpectedly sold for $69000000.00 us dollars at christie's auction house, another highlight of the crypto art craze was the board ab yacht club buyers of n f t monkeys also got access to exclusive events. in no time the board ape yacht club became the status symbol for celebrities and 2021. at the height of the height,

one of the pieces was traded for more than 2 mill us dollars. in 2020 to similar works of art even made it into museums. the constant hazardous in switzerland hosted a comprehensive show covering the emerging crypto art scene. one person who knows his way around this new world of n. f. t's is german digital artist, manuel hosanna. he expanded the exhibition to include a virtual reality of his own creation. let's start with the basics. what exactly is an, an empty? so how do i thought i am for an f t, so i have to understand the blocking. and that's a lot of computers in that store, the same kind of information. and because there are so many and you can't just go there and change some information because the others will notice. and by that you

don't need some person to check all of that. that's happening automatically and, and now instead of only are such a string money transaction, so who owns what? you can also at an end of t, which means that der so called wallet that you own, is registered on the block chain and attests you own this. so called token, why is this so revolutionary? because everything can be certified with it, it's the digitized form of an asset. this wasn't possible before digital art and files could be copied. the term n f t comes from the world of crypto currencies and that's where many new art collectors come from. they trade in crypto currency and have become wealthy in digital spaces for the art market. this technology is a revolution. prices formerly secret are now posted publicly on websites as well as

who bought what and when to really capture the dynamics and the, the scale of all the digital possibilities. i think this medium is really the right one. um and being able to interact with collectors in this way is something new and something very powerful and helpful for digital artist. of course, artists like manuel hoss now are suddenly earning money with their digital art. he's now a prime mover on the german crypto art market. and has created his own museum for his n f t collection. virtually, of course, his works can be seen in international exhibitions. trading in empties has been a global phenomenon for around 3 years, despite the extreme price fluctuations of crypto currencies. they are seen as a revolutionary opportunity to change the global art market. global participation is the, in the past only well established institutions were in control. market outsiders couldn't break in the experience of latin american artists shows how this is changing. our next stop is columbia. and moonlighting,

john is the pin today's world. there are millions of people who create cultural products who want to sell their work, their cultural property, but who simply upload it to network, such as instagram program put or for a like in the form of a little house, the law where behind the so called web free point. oh is a different kind of philosophy here. artist can upload the work for more than any from hans or unlike here they might get a dollar, you know, to $10000.00 or even a $1000000.00. so let, this allows artists to manage themselves without a gallery, as an intermediary, especially in countries like milan via this is a real opportunity since crypto currencies are recognized by the state bank as an official means of payment. during the pandemic, many artists in the country began posting and marketing their works and virtual spaces. however, the height may have run its course. many crypto currencies have crashed,

which has also affected the n f t trade, but not brought it to a standstill. back to germany. here, some berlin gallery owners are showing a cautious openness to the inept he market. berlin gallery, nagel docs law, has opened the crypto kiosk crypto artists are exhibited here, but it's not their main focus, and they advise collectors to be conscious. is this anthony sheila, it's a bit of a gamble equilla. it's speculation when and the media inflate. individual legs very strongly said the art market itself in nf, please, in that's a very small percentage lead that 5 percent since at this and from would tend, ah instability in crypto currency markets has dampened the frenzy and damaged confidence in the new market. but there is still potential in venturing into the metaphor, threats, but the big bucks are still made with time tested masters at the established

institutions. and frankly, there are now many new players in the market. the market is relatively stable outs now often bought as an investment of whether you think that's good or not finishing this, but i, the very young artist, boards, old people return to positions that have proved that was in the market to artists who have already passed the historical tests, so to speak, and an artist like you fish, doc, investing in art can be a profitable undertaking for those who can drum up the millions for works by the likes of god. arista. as for the rest of us, we can always stop by the museum. thank you very much. that said that the sedition of mont sundale. see you again next time.
