With this variation within the fee’s institution comes a change within the energy construction. Just like the leisure trade within the Thirties, energy within the artwork world shifts from distribution channels (galleries) to creators (artists). And with larger independence for artists comes larger accountability. In a world the place collectors work together straight with artists, who sells their work and when are artists busy producing? To maintain this variation, artists should be extra entrepreneurial and discover ways to handle new duties. Some rent extra workers, others are glad to work with galleries that tackle gross sales, promotion, placement and help work. It is a function that right this moment’s galleries already play. However the energy dynamics will swap.
