Do you want to become a successful artist, making millions? Why your art isn't worth millions of dollars yet? Many books and programs tell you it's easy to get rich fast. You see a 150,000 USD banana duck-taped to the wall, and think: it must be easy to become a successful artist! The reality is, making it in art isn't as straightforward as it appears.

The global art market is evaluated at $64.12 billion in 2019. However, this number isn't quite relevant for 99% of us. The "1%" of the world’s population currently holds over 44% of household wealth. In other words, we the 99% are merely splitting what the leftovers. You might want to check out this Vice article 'The Art World Is Full of Lies, Smuggling, and Financial Hijinks':

At Art Basel 2018, 80% of collectors bought works that are under $5,000. Meanwhile, 1% of buyers purchased works that are over $1 million. If you want to become an artist making million-dollar art, you need to dance with the high society, the "1%".
If you dream to become a millionaire artist, there are some ways. I am not here to tell you the conclusion, because it's you who will find one's own way. Take a pen and piece of paper, do some research. Who is the most successful artist alive in the world? What did they do right to get there? What can you learn from them? You will find some clues in those answers.

Love how honest you are. I was expecting some bs that everyone always posts. This all straight to the facts. Most of the art world is closed off to those outside of the financial elite. Which sucks but that also gives you an advantage if you can find ways to navigate through those seemingly roadblocks.

Sadly, if you want to enter this kind of competition one way only isn't just enough, it has to be the combination of most as a lifetime goal. Those artists (for the old ones) cited are from a generation when the economy was booming and they took the wave. It will be more difficult today, plus running alone for making your own big name is becoming less relevant in those uncertain times. What do you think?

I thought it was totally discouraging. Then I realized that I don't care about becoming a "million dollar artist." I want to do what I love, surrounded by the people I love, in the place I love. I'm living a rich life.

@VeryPrivateGallery 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Mica, thanks for your message. That’s a very good topic. Many people had to work a stable job (like a state job) to pay for the bills. At age 50 it’s time to pick up what they really enjoy doing. Galleries love older and mature artists, they just want to see a strong historic record. Young artists had the excuse of not having such track records, but older artists don’t. The biggest question you will need to answer when working with others: why didn’t you dedicate to art in the past few decades? If you have a good answer, they will love it!

If you know what Paris Hilton's like you'll know that creating art and making it public is just another way for her to get in the press without getting arrested.(One time she DID get arrested to get in the press.They put her in jail for a month in a tiny cell and she had a nervous breakdown in that cell.She can't handle being in jail so she has to find other legal ways to get in the press).The only reason the press pay attention to her and her art is that they ALREADY know who she is.

I took art classes in high school, aiming at getting into top fine art academy. My maths scored below passing line, no wonder I wasn’t pursuing other careers like engineering. My classmates told me I was doing art because I wanted an easy way out, as art students are exempted from normal exams. Back then, people criticize art students for being a bad influence (drinking smoking tattooing as a minor). The stigma killed my interest in pursuing art. It’s like being a nerd in high school in the States, it’s not popular. Now that I am much older and have my own judgement, I believe although one’s motivation of making art might not be pure (money, fame, escape), it’s still honorable to take the opportunity to express oneself.

There is one other route and it is the most important one you forget. It is being good. If you are original then that will open every door. Originality is missing today. It is hard to be original. But being an artist you need to be original else your art has failed. Yes there are a bunch of famous artists that are not very original. They are famous yes, but they are also failed artists.

@VeryPrivateGallery 2 жыл бұрын

Of course, you have to be good. In a competitive industry, being good is an entry ticket, not a guarantee to success. Let’s look at our neighbor - the fashion industry. Many models are good-looking. Kate Moss doesn’t have the most “beautiful” body and face, but she was one of the most successful supermodel in her era. Lauren Hutton has a gap in her teeth and was first considered weird. But she became an industry icon. Being good is a must. But what’s the secret sauce when it comes to becoming the “Kate Moss of visual art”? That’s.. a question.

@albertinsinger7443 2 жыл бұрын

@@VeryPrivateGallery I do not know what the recipe is. I ran a gallery in NYC for 6 years. There are lots of great artists that never see the light of day and then there are a whole bunch of artists who really shouldn t be where they are because they really aren t that good. In the end I think it is pure luck. Who you know helps a lot maybe more so then what you do. But that is probably true in any occupation.

@@albertinsinger7443 Yes, we have a term both in Spanish and in Chinese for this kind of human connections. The Spanish word is real nasty - enchufe. Like the electric plug. You plug it and you get the power. Uff. Sometimes when you are not the compatible plug (like the EU plug and the US, or UK plug), you can not access. It’s pretty much “born with”. We have a saying in Chinese: getting into the right womb is a technical job. Many of us are already lost when we came to the world.

@@albertinsinger7443 Going back to the modeling industry, ten years ago model Lv Yan was considered as the top Chinese model in the world. She started her career in Paris after being scouted by model agency. But in China she was considered unbearably ugly by many people inside or outside the industry. It’s a curious thing why some professionals are “up there” when many people think they are not that qualified. They must have something, besides the connection. What do they have? Are there anything in common?

@@VeryPrivateGallery Beaty lies in the eye of the beholder the saying goes. I lived in Asia for 15 years at first everyone looked the same to me. But after a while you can see who are the beautiful women. I am sure that in Paris they did not have a clue about who is a beautiful Chinese women. So the Chinese saying li is ugly is probably the truth. But does art have anything to do with beauty? Willie Nelson said once . Music is what is pleasing to the ear. So it will with painting to. It needs to please the eye.
