It is a myth that art has to be sold. It is not like stocking a grocery store where people fill a pushcart. Art is a product that has no apparent need. The salesperson builds the need in the mind of the buyer.

I'm in this whole flow of doing certain art pieces without commerce.

Art is creative for the sake of realization, not for amusement... for transfiguration, not for the sake of play.

I am not a commercial industry creator. I don't believe in making art to make money.

Art is fun to buy.

I don't buy art just to make artists happy any more than I want to make them sad if I sell their work.

Art dealing is when you're doing it as a business.

There's obviously nothing wrong with selling your art - only an idiot with a trust fund would tell you otherwise. But it's confusing to know how far you should take it.

There's always been an ongoing struggle between commerce and art.
