The auction price of 20 Gurskys combined.The Pessimistic Artist Manifesto
Art is made from money. Art is a business! Yet, we do not want to conform into the boring life of moneymaking in the traditional sense, but how will you make art without supplies? Who will buy your art? How will they see it? Art is a privilege of the Museums, Galleries, and sadly the rich. It does belong to banks & fancy investors. Art is food. You can’t eat it but it feeds you. Money to create art will feed you. Art is not cheap and is not available to everybody.
Art soothes pain?
Art wakes up sleepers?
Art fights against war & stupidity?
Art is inventive, art is a challenge, and art is a tough field.
Art is a business.
Be realistic. You just want to be famous and have money to make art.
