It is so not true.. I know we live in a decadend era but.. I'd say instead that without Art there wouldn'd be an art market.. Please do not reduce art to its limited although important commercial side, please do not bend to this vision human innate pulsion to create, please do not abide by the British/US market-only driven way of interpreting art... I've recently read about the US PR agencies whose work is to instruct artists about how to produce art in order to sell more effectively. That is human, although to me disgusting, but please do not force your vision into this single tunnel.

I agree with Ivan - I think that the impulse to make art comes from a much deeper place than sales and fame - though both are gratifying if or when they come ones way - & nothing wrong with being savvy and professional - but before that, in order to create something profound and meaningful an artist needs to separate from market drives and connect with a personal vision
AntwortenLöschenWithout a market, no-one would make art..for the market!!! This is called a TAUTOLOGY!!!
AntwortenLöschenThe same "argument" could be stated as
Without a market, no-one would make FOOD , HOUSING, CARS, HEALTH CARE..etc...etc...
Now food and almost everything else was produced before capitalism and its market!!! Amazing!! How they did it? The neoliberal logic is not very logical after all...
