This artists' reference is designed to teach emerging artists the techniques necessary to market and sell their artwork, both on their own and through dealers. This third edition contains extensive new sections about the issues relevant today: how to create and market art on a Web site; how artists have handled controversy and censorship; copyright and trademark protection on the Internet; and the realities of fundraising and funding sources. The book addresses the artist as a whole, including an examination of the emotional and psychological issues specific to being an artists as well as the smartest strategies for "investing" in an art career. Art world insider Daniel Grant provides detailed coverage of exhibitions, contracts with dealers and print publishers, marketing and advertising outlets, grants and commissions, and more. Successful artists also describe their own experiences, offering examples of career development and expert advice for overcoming the pressures that arise when art becomes business.

Fantastic overview very insightful.
| Customer Rating: | | I read the 3rd edition by Daniel Grant. The book is aimed mainly at oil painters and sculptures. Even though I am interested in selling fine art photography the information was still much help since it gives such a complete view of selling art. Sales outlets include galleries, mail order, Internet, and others including the likely hood of success in each and examples of persons who have been successful in each. The conversational style is easy to read. Positives and negatives of various sales methods are given. The book neither depresses nor thrills but seems to evenly cover the material. Many many issues of selling art are covered. Just when you think the author is done he comes up with another factor to consider. Personal issues as to how to act are covered as part of the explanations and a chapter on "Handling the Pressures" of success and waiting for success is included. It includes an Appendix of names and addresses of helpful organizations. Makes you feel like you could make money in the arts. Overall it was a great read. |
