How important are long, detailed captions versus short ones?

Long, story-rich captions are valuable when you’re genuinely sharing meaningful context about your work. If you have artist statements, stories about the piece, or cultural context to share, people will read it—especially if you’ve trained your audience to expect that depth. The key is authenticity: share real stories and information, not just filler. Detailed captions add value and help collectors understand and connect with the work.
