Can art be considered as a commodity?

Kate Shearer, one of the first emerging artists we spoke to at The Australian Art Weekend Sydney VIP night, certainly made us wonder. She showed us her LV Jerry Can (Jerry Can, Gold plated cap, leather, nylon and plastic) and it set the scene for the evening.

More than 80 galleries showing art for all tastes, at affordable prices ($500 would have your wall covered).  And we were thrilled to see our favourite lady exhibiting – Nanami Cowdroy (Daily Addict’s branding and featured artist).
