Fantastic interview! Reiterated how I look at my continuing career as an artist in her late sixties.. I’ve never stopped having an art practice with a studio. However, I also had to help support our family as a museum
and arts center educator, designer and adult education teacher. The US is different than Europe in support for working artists. I know that firsthand as a young printmaker who lived in France and the Netherlands in my twenties. I agree with everything that was discussed. However, we’re still making relevant art at all ages and with so much personal archives to tap into.. Young artists today might not have the honed grit to persevere. Just a thought?
Thanks so much for sharing your artistic journey. The U.S. still falls short when it comes to truly supporting working artists. Younger artists might be more accustomed to instant gratification, given the fast-paced world we live in, but they also tend to have a broader worldview, which can enrich their work. Plus, they have access to tools and platforms that make distribution easier, potentially leading to quicker recognition and opportunities.
Thank your for this and some of your other posts on the science of the art market.
I've been contemplating writing about my journey of 'art and commerce', the challanges and strategies, or really just following the journey from 'producing' to marketing oneself as an artist.
I've been hesitant to share that and then found your page which hits on many of the themes.
Especially around not cold calling galleries and the complexity of that.
I am glad this is useful. I think art and commerce are more intertwined than a lot of artists who are starting out predict. This is my way of helping them out. Looking forward to reading your posts on the subject as well. I just subscribed.
Hi Shagun, this was such a good reading! A lot of useful tips, thanks so much! And so generous of you and Will on planning a 2nd part focusing on artists. Until when can we fill the form?
