The Declaration of the Artist's Rights to be the Sole Appraiser of their Own Works.....

Full title; "The Declaration of the Artist's Rights to be the Sole Appraiser of their Own Works, and the Artist's Rights to be the Only Person Qualified to price their Own Works" The price of this historical piece of art reflects the high worth of "The Stand", which I am here taking for the rights of top quality artists everywhere. It is like the stands, which so many other people have taken in the past, people such as; Dr Martin Luther King Jr., Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Cindy Sherman, Fred Wilson, The ASCO, which was made up of ( Patssi Valdez, Gronk, Willie Herron, and Harry Gamboa ), Clyde H. Bellecourt and so many others. This drawing of a quarter, is the perfect piece to take such a stand with, because a quarter is a specific object that states it's worth, or value loud and clear. The American Government has created it and they have decided it's value and they have put that decided value on every quarter which they make. No on else in the world has the right to decide what it's value should be. Likewise, that is the same stand that I am here taking, as I have created this drawing and I, the creator, or artist, am the only person, who has the right to decide it's value and then price it accordingly. "The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America" is an artistic, immortal and historical stand. What kind of price tag would it have on it, right now, if it were to be auctioned off ? It's common knowledge that most excellent quality artists don't become rich and famous until after they die. The so-called professionals of the public art world tell them what to price their artworks for and they tell them to price their artworks at insanely low prices. Then suddenly, as soon as you die, in the twinkling of an eye, those so-called professionals of the public art world, or may I say "Those Crooked Vultures", come flying out of the woodwork to buy up all of your artworks. They finally declare your artworks to be masterpieces, when all through your life, those same people hissed at you, as if you were the scum of the earth, and wouldn't take one look at your artworks to save their soul. Such injustice only happens because, we artists, allow it to happen. Most artists are very timid and have very low self-images. Their very low self-images are directly reflected in their insanely low prices, which they place upon their masterpieces. So many superb quality artists just sit back and let people steal their artworks from them for a mere quarter an hour for their time, either because they are starving, or because their own extremely low self-image agrees that their artworks aren't worth any more, than a quarter an hour for their time. Out of all of the professions, that people choose, for a career, it can truly be said that "Fine Artists" are the modern day slaves and they definitely need an artistic type of Abraham Lincoln, or Moses, to free them. Therefore, today, I make the following declaration to good quality "Fine Artists" everywhere; "The Declaration of the Artist's Rights to be the Sole Appraiser of their own Works, and to be the only person qualified to price their own Works". I, for one, refuse to die with zero self respect and footprints all over my face, from allowing the so-called professionals of the public art world to decide what my artworks are worth, and then accordingly hand me a bag of peanuts for one of my masterpieces. I am not a monkey that I should settle for peanuts for my top quality, excellently crafted masterpieces. It's those same "Crooked Vultures", who want me to sell my masterpieces for a measly bag of peanuts, who have raised refrigerator art up to iconic stature and multimillion dollar price tags, and they have exalted such extremely low quality artworks to chief places of honor in art museums everywhere. My definition of refrigerator art is "Drip paintings", "Scribble paintings", "Zip paintings", "One color paintings", "Color field paintings", "Ready mades", and all other artworks so decadently minimal that they are no higher in true quality, than a mere four year old child can do, and should truly be taken out of the art museums everywhere and put back on the refrigerators where they belong. Again, those so-called professionals of the last 100 years, have declared such decadent art as "The Triumph of American Art", and people all over the world laugh at us and refuse to take American art seriously. Those so-called professionals, have totally become blind to what a true masterpiece looks like and is made up of. The time for "Revival in Modern Art" has come. It's time for all top quality artists everywhere to rise up and take a stand for the true worth of their masterpieces and for their rights to be the sole appraiser of their own works and the only person qualified to price their own works of art. Price $25,000,000.00
