Studio Price and Official Valuation: My Stance on the Contemporary Art Market

Introduction

In the art world, the question of an artwork’s price is often shrouded in mystery. Between subjective perception and market benchmarks, both collectors and companies wonder: how does an artist set their prices?

For my part, I have chosen a path of transparency. My studio prices and platform prices are aligned with recognized references, offering my collectors both consistency and confidence in their acquisitions.

The Studio Price: A Direct and Authentic Dialogue

The studio price corresponds to the rate applied when acquiring a work directly from me.
It is established in alignment with the official valuation issued by a European expert accredited by the courts. This reference ensures that the value of my work is assessed in an objective, independent, and professional manner.

This valuation provides a calculation benchmark linked to the format of the work. It also serves as a recognized reference point for insurance purposes in the event of theft, fire, or weather-related damage.

👉 For the collector, it is the guarantee of a fair and transparent price.
👉 For the company, it is the possibility of investing in art with the same rigor as a patrimonial asset.

Platform Prices: Aligned with the iCAC Index

In parallel, my works presented on art platforms (RiseArt, Artalistic, Artmajeur, etc.) are aligned with the iCAC index (Indice Cotation Artistes Contemporains).
This international index situates my work within the broader context of the art market, taking into account global trends, recognized benchmarks, and the commercial policies of each platform.

👉 Whether you discover me through my studio or via a platform, the prices are always embedded in a coherent and verifiable logic.

A Stance of Trust and Prestige

Choosing this dual reference (European expert + iCAC) is, for me, a way to:

  • Value my work within a long-term perspective,

  • Respect my collectors by ensuring total transparency,

  • Anchor my work in a professional and patrimonial continuity.

I remain available for any questions: feel free to contact me.

Conclusion & Invitation

Acquiring a work of art should never be an uncertain act. It should be experienced as a meaningful encounter, supported by clarity and trust.
By choosing my works, you benefit from a rare transparency in the market, and from a value aligned with official references.

Alain Rouschmeyer

Alain Rouschmeyer est surtout connu pour ses peintures acryliques sur toile moyen format et ses dessins contemporains à l’encre. Observateur du quotidien, il analyse la balade humaine à travers les postures et les espaces traversés, comme pour sonder le banal et en capturer le parfum. Son itinéraire artistique l’invite à travailler l’architecture dans laquelle il aime porter la réflexion sur les espaces de vie et les transversalités qui en définissent les usages. Comme un poète analyste, le travail d’Alain Rouschmeyer navigue entre réalité et intimité laissant apparaitre l’attachement et le détachement au gré d’une volonté consciente. Il explore la dimension cachée d’un quotidien qui ne cesse de nous interpeller comme une musique de jazz ou un blues chaleureux. Le romantisme dont il assume intégralement la traduction contemporaine et intemporelle habite le support comme un espace impliqué.
