Even the top art auction houses like Sotheby's and Christie's enjoy using size comparisons to determine prices, not to mention non-professionals who treat art as financial speculation.
For instance, Monet's "Water Lilies" series sums up the simple truth that bigger is better, more lotus leaves mean it's pricier.
If a "Water Lilies" piece sold at the neighboring auction house for twenty million dollars, and my "Water Lilies" is larger, then it's more impressive and should be sold for twenty-five million dollars!
This "Mountain in the Snow" was once owned by a collector who was somewhat famous in Japan and had participated in art exhibitions and was insured, making it the star of this public auction.
The Myanmar National Art Gallery, though not a renowned gallery, is not one of those used to deceive people with hyped exhibitions.
