These videos are growing on me. I am hooked. At 79 years old your youthfulness is a real put-off. Then I thought that the new generation is so much more informed and educated that I had best bury the "the young people today" syndrome and man up. You are an inspiration. And youth like you make me feel the present and the future is in good hands. Thank you for your professionalism and intense dedication. I left the fine art field 2007. Am just now realizing what a loss that has been. I am so excited about what is happening in the art world. You are a wonderful guide.

Try see if you can make a deal with the Devil in 2024. 5. Its the end - times. Paint something end - times related or try to perform an end - times themed installation. 6. Write novels and short stories. 7. Try write a few poems or even your first script. 8. A few Manga doodles are not going to hurt your time. 9.

I find that when I have at least one good other to share as well as at least them or another to look and discuss about ongoing work. A Good Thing. I’ve noticed I’ll come up with my next step or idea… and then see it online. Which is good to push me to the next step. So far your information sets a vision of good foundation and clarity to help me at least find authentic ways to express, create and also live with the true possibility of livelihood. That many might find a home foundation as well . Such a gift you have. Happy New Year. In Gratitude, Janet

Superb channel with advice that is realistic, actually useful and demystifying. One teeny weeny criticism would be to PLEASE leave out or reduce the extremely cheesy awful stock videos that do not reflect the message and advice of CAI; especially the videos showing exactly the type of “art” that is NOT going to help artists become successful in the art world that this channel is representing. Big mismatch and could be confusing for inexperienced artists who are trying to break into that particular market… but other than that I do love this channel!! Thanks for your great work! 👏 😊

@contemporaryartissue 3 ай бұрын

Amen! Thank you for this great piece of feedback, because I completely agree with the cheesiness and bad art in those stock videos. People disliked the video in the past when there wasn't enough B-roll footage and seeing my face a bit too much hence using the stock videos for some variation. It simply is very difficult to find the right footage to illustrate everything that is copyright free, so I won't get into trouble. Nevertheless, I am happy you shared your honest thoughts here and I will put them to good use. Have a great day!

Here is a question I’m not sure you have touched on yet: Being an aspiring artist myself, I watch all the major art exhibitions I can find on KZfaq. And as I’m watching, I find myself asking, as for the Art Basel Miami for example, who are these people that are spending the $500,000 or 1 million on the art and what are they doing with it. I wish I had that much money to spend on some of those art pieces. I would love to find a place for one in my house or office. Is that what these people are doing with them or are the pieces going into some art locker, or being loaned to museums or art galleries? Does someone know what the percentage is of these art pieces being used as home or office decorations? More importantly, should I be considering this question when displaying my art at galleries and exhibitions. For example, should I have photos of my art in a home or office setting, or photograph the art piece on a colored wall that complements the art piece, or maybe frame the art piece?

@paintingsbypintar 3 ай бұрын

First, I find this channel interesting and insightful. I've been creating art for 30 years. I've shown in smaller galleries, won awards and many plein air events, and over the last two years, been juried in to a dozen outdoor art festivals throughout Florida. I live in Florida and finally took the time to go to Basel in Miami this year. What an eye-opening and educational experience. Personally, most of the art I saw at Basel I wouldn't hang in my home, whether I could afford it or not. And I can't :) What I learned was buyers at that level are (primarily) investors who are usually not even on the floor. Their agents make the purchase for them on opening night or the first day of the show. And like buying stock, you are betting on a rising star or known blue chip artist, and purchasing an item with the hopes that it will increase in value over the years. Hanging it in your home is not the reason for purchasing. Along this line, Art Miami, Context and Red Dot fairs actually had contemporary art I would hang in my home, and could almost afford. I'm an artist, and I mostly collect my own art. At the fairs surrounding Basel in Miami I learned just how competitive and difficult it is to be "found" and how expensive it is to represent yourself. I'm about to show at Art Palm Beach in two weeks and it cost me 2k to be part of one gallery's exhibit. And for that I get one 12x6 ft wall, enough for one large painting. I know I can compete. It's just a matter of getting approval from one person (or a couple) who purchases my art. If that can happen, my gallery rep may just ask me to come back again and I begin to expand my network.

@contemporaryartissue 3 ай бұрын

Thank you for tuning in and for a series of interesting questions. The top-tier collectors range from entrepreneurs to people born wealthy and collecting as a hobby, corporate investors, and art speculators. I don't believe there is data available for this specific price range of buyers but many of them have the art in their homes, others have large warehouses where they store their art, and others indeed gift it to a museum. When it comes to your second question if you should present your art as an ideal piece to decorate an interior, the answer is no. In fact, it is kind of frowned upon to photograph your art as decoration or to create these typical renders of a painting above a couch or in a dining room. It reduces art to being decoration and is primarily something the lower tier artists and galleries (especially online) do. My advice when pursuing success in the highest realms of the art world is to avoid this at all times. Only show your art as an art, never as decoration, and photograph it in an artistic high-end context (high-quality exhibition views). Hope this might clarify things!

The art work is also a business and when you know a little about those rules it helps you a lot. My experience told me that you cannot succeed by only listening to those social media "professionals" but hard work, discipline, patience and humilty are the keys of a successful evolution.

I was in the first ever frieze art fair & yearbook as a 23 yo car crash. I'm type one diabetic & as I had to miss a signing on day to attend the opening, I was regularly hospitalized due to not wanting the extra stress of deceiving anyone, even jobcentre plus. Galleries are closed when people are free, even on Sundays, let alone after the working day. I can't abide that on ANY level & really want heads. Key information flows like treacle & art club seems to enforce that, so we all look like cXXts by association. All this makes angrier more inept artwork when that can happen. Where's the skint type one diabetic artists & accurate advice from success stories..? Looking for help's the worst thing, but in vague umbrella terms, you're helpful! Keep on keeping on!

They do want to attract people and I don't think we can blame them to close on Sunday when everyone closes. I advise you to always go during openings. Everyone is very accessible and there is a very social vibe in the gallery-perhaps that's the drinks doing their work. Wishing the very best for 2024!

@contemporaryartissue 3 ай бұрын

You can use an alias, but since Banksy, everyone seems to be anonymous or use a cool, mysterious alias. I would advise only using one when it makes sense for your personal situation or art. If not, use your own name-which is the best and safest option in my opinion. In the end, you need to put yourself out there if you want to get into a position to be lucky, including showing your face, name, and personality. Perhaps this is not the answer you were hoping for, but it is the most truthful way to answer your question. Wishing you all the best!

The only thing I’ve asked is total anonymity , my face will not be there I hope he respects that..,he’ll see how it goes. Still think If Francis Bacon works , where to be judged by his studio, (from another video posted ) no one would have ever seen his work with this theory.(my studio it’s even worse) Tristan is certainly having a hard time with me.I am from another century .

If your art matches who you are and you present both of it, it will be way easier to sell art. No one of my art buyers have ever asked me for those things.

Art is subjective. Who decides what is " good" art? I've seen some art done by famous people that has made me wonder what they were thinking or smoking when they created it. I have created some pieces of my own that i was neautral on that other people loved. Who's to judge and say what is good? Vincent Van Gogh's work was criticized severely and he only made one sale during his lifetime and that was to another artist. You as an artist need a promoter. Artists in general are not good sales people. The only artists i met who are making sales are selling kitschy stuff very cheaply.

Perhaps it 60, maybe even more. It is very difficult to put a number on it-but it is the most important part without a single doubt.

If only it was so simple. Just buy my tools and you ll be successful.This is all bullshit ! To be successful ( if this means living off you art ) you need to have à gift ,be born with it ,work hard and be lucky not like Gauguin,Van Gogh,Modigliani,Vermeer...so many other grands maîtres which were only famous after their deaths. If you don't have this gift which enables to create the émotion in peoples heart ,you ll be an excellent technicien and there are tons of .around.

This is not real advice but instead vague descriptions of what being an artist actually is. Hack video

Blah, blah, blah. I have a permanent job.I paint for my own enjoyment, and have sold more paintings than a friend of mine who TRIES to make a living out of art, and is failing miserably, because he listens to fools like you. I just paint from my heart, enjoys it and there are people who appreciate it and buy it. There is no magic solution.

Walton Ford would disagree. check him out as a modern example for how to represent yourself and your work tastefully and effectively.

@@billmaxgetser3069 Who's Walton Ford? Im not interested in his advice. I do my iwn thing and are reasonably successful. Remember, painting is NOT how I make living. It's more of a rewarding hobby. Many artists fail, because they want to replicate what others do, and listen to advice that doesn't suit their situation. So, Walton Ford can go to hell.

Please could you make a video on how to make it in the Art Industry - not as an artist but as an employee. The different types of jobs, and career paths in Commercial Galleries and how to work yourself up to become a Director, Gallery Manager, Curator etc. There is a big jump between Gallery Assistant and Director, it would be great to know how to do to get there! @sara.kew
