What is the role of appreciation in the value of artwork?

Question

The artist adds value by investing in making a piece of work beautiful enough to create joy. The apprecitator (non-artist in most cases) adds value by looking and buying and displaying it so that the enjoyment continues...

Answer 1

We appreciate artwork because of the vulnerability the artist went through to get it to it's present state. We appreciate artwork to acknowledge that we recognize the difference between a picture and art, the difference between a bowl and a sculpture.
When an artist creates, he/she puts a lot of themselves into their work. The piece evokes the emotions, deepest desires and memories of the artist. We want to show that we appreciate them sharing a part of their being with us that we would otherwise never know.

Answer 3

appreciation shows that artwork has appeal and demand
and where there is demand, there is value.
that's why many artist died poor, because no one appreciated their work until after they died.
God bless,
