The Perpetual Struggle of Artists in Economic Cycles
The Perpetual Struggle of Artists in Economic Cycles
🎨 When Galleries Cry Wolf
Art critic Kenny Schachter addresses the recurring narrative of gallery struggles during economic downturns, referencing Roberta Smith's 1992 NYT article about gallery closures. He argues that while media focuses on struggling galleries and high-profile artists with declining prices, the persistent challenges of working artists often go unnoticed.
Key points:
- Economic cycles consistently impact the art market
- Gallery struggles receive disproportionate attention
- Artists face ongoing challenges regardless of market conditions
- High-profile artists' price corrections often permanent
The discussion explores survival strategies for artists during both market downturns and upswings.
