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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As an artist, you need to be not at all entitled in your relation with the work. So money is kind of worrying. You can start to expect things if you're used to a certain level of comfort.
I'm not such an artist type that I can't handle the real world. I read the financial pages, because most people don't talk about art.
I don't even know how to sell a piece of artwork of mine because it's so personal.
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 really just started buying art as a passion. I never considered it an investment, but it ended up being a good investment.
Art is not an investment. Art is something you buy because you are financially solvent enough to give yourself a pleasure of living with great works rather than having to just see them in museums. People who are buying art at the top of the market as an investment are foolish.
If you're an artist, it's OK to put your money into your art. The advantage, in hindsight, is that you become the film, and the film becomes you; you breathe it.
I don't believe in selling art by transparencies. Art is a firsthand experience.
Art is often valuable precisely because it isn't a sensible way to make money.
I paint for the sheer joy of painting. I have never sold any of my paintings. I'd rather give them to people for free.
