items sold

The item i chose was the "Photograph of Heather Hibbard"

1) The person that bought the item was a woman named Kim from St. Paul, Minnesota. I think that the type of person to buy this item would be very into art and photography. I think that the person buying it would have to be into photography to be able to appreciate the picture angle and lighting and have a real understanding of it. The person who bought it had a collection of black and white photographs which makes since because the person would have to have the right place to put it in their home where it would look good.

2) I think that the item sold because it's actually a pretty good picture. It wasn't just some random shot, it was staged and he obviously knew what he was doing when he took it. It also has really interesting lighting. I think a main reason it was sold, along with all of his items, is because there was a story attached to it. I think that especially with art, the value goes up when you know the story behind it and the person who created it.

  1. Good work, Brooke.

    You didn't have to locate the actual buyer of the item - only hypothesize who MIGHT have bought it. But that info just added to the post...nice job.
