PRICING EXPLAINED

HOW PRICING WORKS (ARTWORK VALUES):

Shane Townley’s artwork values are determined by year of creation and follow a structured appreciation model. Each painting increases in value by 10% annually, calculated with compound growth, reflecting both the artist’s evolving market presence and the historical significance of earlier works. The prices displayed on this website represent the current, real-time value of each piece, taking into account not only the year it was created but also whether the artwork has previously changed hands between collectors, which can further elevate its market value. For example, a painting created in 2020 originally priced at $7,000 would appreciate by 10% per year, resulting in a current value of approximately $11,273.57 in 2025, based purely on compounded growth — with additional increases possible if the piece has a documented collector history. This structure ensures transparent, consistent, and historically grounded pricing across the entire collection.

EXAMPLE:

Using the 10% annual compounded increase model:

$7,000 (2020 value) × 1.10⁵ = $11,273.57

So, a painting priced at $7,000 in 2020 would now be worth approximately:

✅ $11,274 in 2025

(based purely on compound appreciation, not including any additional premium for prior collector ownership or provenance)
