PRICING ART BY SIZE AND THE NUMBER OF FIGURES.

PRICING ART BY SIZE AND THE NUMBER OF FIGURES. Rubens on the pricing of art: “‘One evaluates pictures differently from tapestries. The latter are purchased by measure, while the former are valued according to their excellence, their subject, and number of figures.’” (from an article in the New York Review of Books for January 17, 2008 by Anthony Grafton).
