LOCAL ART: Join ‘The Platters Game’

SUPPORT LOCAL ART!  One of our favorite artists, Rodger Schultz aka RAS., is conducting an experiment known as ‘The Platters Game’.

‘The Platters Game’ was started by RAS. in 2010, when he decided to give away a FREE painting on Facebook.  The description said ‘FREE’, but NO ONE claimed it.  Maybe nobody understood that ‘FREE’ actually meant ‘FREE’.

RAS. tried again a year later with a $1 painting… it sold immediately.  Game on!

Then, RAS. made #2.

Named after the vinyl record used to make the circle, ‘The Platters Game’ is a simple experiment — a linear experiment — a life long experiment.  Platter 1 sold for $1.  Platter 2 sold for $2.  Platter 3 sold for $3.  How high will it go?   No one knows… 

‘The Platters Game’ is an analysis of the state of art, from investors to investing,  market to marketing,  aesthetic to desirability.  RAS. broke the entire art world down, and in putting it back together, ‘The Platters Game’ arose.  “It is the phoenix.  It is the most simple”, says RAS.

It theoretically should be a self propagating thing.  People with the earlier pieces, and a vested interest in watching their properties rise in value, market the game to their friends.  Every time a property is sold, the previous properties raise $1.  It’s an experiment, so there is no real goal.  Save money to participate and watch what happens.

Join RAS. and ‘The Platters Game’ as it unfolds on his Facebook Page! 

**TODAY ONLY (April 10): You are able to reserve any number you would like until MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.  Reserve your number HERE.

Last week a piano composition by Mozart — written when he was 10 or 11 — was found in an attic in Austria. Here is that piece’s world premiere, performed by Florian Birsak on a piano that belonged to Mozart, in Mozart’s childhood home.
