SAN MATEO, Calif. - s4story -- How did the art market get so hot, and what can an artist do to make their artwork more valuable in their own lifetime…without having to cut off an ear…or something else?

Here is some information about five paintings that make some interesting statements and ask some  interesting questions about things like art prices, multimillion dollar art auctions, and the art market in general.

The paintings are by Robert Barrows, President of an Advertising Agency called R.M. Barrows Advertising & Public Relations. Barrows is also a sculptor, author, poet, songwriter and an inventor.

His invention is a Video Tombstone called the Video Enhanced Gravemarker (U.S. Patent #7,089,495). You can see more about it at www.barrows.com/invention.html

He also wrote a book based on stories told through video tombstones. The book is called "Cemetery of Lies."

The paintings are paintings of the questions and statements as follows:

1) If this painting becomes worth hundreds of millions after I die, how much can I get for it NOW?

2) At a multimillion dollar art auction...Does the second place bidder breathe a sigh of relief, or a sigh of regret?

3) Some art sells for Million$,
Some art won't even sell at a garage sale…

4) "I've Got those starving Artist Blues."

5) Another painting is a painting of the question "How much do you think the Price Guarantors Guaranteed on this Painting?"

To see photos of these paintings, you can contact Robert Barrows at R.M. Barrows, Advertising & Public Relations at 650-344-4405.

PLUS...FOR COMPANIES IN THE ART BUSINESS:

Barrows has also developed a proposal for a very special kind of art promotion that could help generate tremendous publicity and tremendous new revenues for art galleries, art museums, art publications, and general mass media as well.

The proposal is for a "Name This Piece of Art and Win Money" Promotion for a piece of sculpture he did.

You can see more about the "Name This Piece" promotion and download a brochure about it at http://www.barrows.com/ntp-1.html
