I have been an artist since I was 16 years old, now I am 66. I have always sold my art directly from my studio. Never exhibited. I have also had difficult times, but there was always a solution. I even taught drawing and painting in a youth prison for 5 years, which was a lot of fun. Now I have moved to a very nice studio and have created an exhibition myself on the street where my studio is. So just outside, open 24/7. Everyone said your paintings will be stolen or damaged, but that hasn't happened yet. Greetings Peter Palm
Artists must be very creative to find a good work-art-life balance to keep up their artistic practice. Wishing you all the best and feel free to share your work/website here. All my best, Julien
Groundbreaking work. It’s vital to be able to discern this information. Thank you… as I work much better knowing I don’t need to wade through each platform, and appreciate every moment you present here. Hope you and family are seeing beautiful sunsets in the summer atmosphere. Sincerely, Janet
Love CAI and love the dog. Some online art presenters say, “just paint like me” while others say, “ follow your personal instincts.” But CAI does deep research and says, follow the facts.” Thanks. My only suggestion is to take a moment to occasionally pet your dog.
Thank you as always for your information. I've had success showing in an NY gallery but that ended a decade ago. I've thought about trying other avenues but for my work the question is getting my work to the right audience - one the gallery provided. I have shown/sold through curated sites like 1st Dibs, but that was still through the gallery. But curated sites seem better for reaching an exclusive audience.
Dear Charles, thank you for your comment and kind words. You are absolutely right: Art with a capital A needs an Art audience. We can find that audience in the galleries and online in the dealer-oriented online marketplaces, and they are there for a good reason. Concerning the art behind me, I honestly forgot they were there, but these are two new and still unframed drawings that I hung on the wall here for a visit of my Antwerp gallery for an upcoming solo show. I have been considering to start a RUclips channel for my personal artistic adventures but haven't had the time to actually do it. To be continued... Have a great day and wishing you the very best
Thanks for your content on this channel. I have one request, could you possibly do a video on how to document work professionally? Especially things like sculpture and installation. For those who cannot afford to hire a photographer, this skill is invaluable and completely necessary and can make or break a professional relationship or application.
Terrific suggestion and on my to-do list in the coming weeks! I am currently preparing my upcoming Antwerp solo show and will create a video on how to document/photograph your works professionally when documenting this new series of works. Stay tuned and thank you for following the channel! 🙏
Julien, in your Type 3 marketplaces you mention "the decorative art market." I wonder if you could talk about this market and its influence, its importance, and its art worth, on all levels of today's art.
Hi there, a very good question. The decorative art market focuses on the decorative use and value instead of the artistic value of the work. As a result, the price ranges are lower and the main objective of the art is to be beautiful or perfect for an interior instead of innovative, thought-provoking or contributing to the artistic canon. Have a great day!
The gallery at the top of the hierarchy is no longer. The collectors one is introduced to on these sites might never go into an intimidating gallery to pay high prices for works (or be blocked from doing so). Art is more democratically appreciated now and these sites serve a vital function for both buyer and artist from all corners of the world. Whether the art is consistently high standard is another matter... but that is the fun of the hunt after all. One man's splodge is another man's masterpiece. If one wants to leave a legacy tied to museums, then the gallery system serves its purpose but there are other ways to share art with the world. 😉 Wonderful videos!
One person's splodge is indeed another's masterpiece and there indeed many career paths to share art with the world-the most important thing for both artists and collectors is to find the one you feel most comfortable and happy in. But, on the other hand, when it comes to the top of the hierarchy, the numbers continue to point in the direction of the mega-galleries. Simultanously, the smaller and more accessible galleries are struggling to survive, partly because of the online alternatives for the lower end of the art market, resulting in fewer exhibition opportunities for artists and most likely a bigger divide between those two worlds. But well, that's why no man so the same river twice and we all must adapt and find our path. Thank you for sharing your thoughts here, most welcome! Wishing you a great day
What if you do not want to be in a big city? Then you are already isolated. In your opinion, do you have to live in an ‘art city’ to have success at all?
Great question, and we have actually dedicated a complete video to this topic. Feel free to give it a watch; ruclips.net/video/POENx3TkOso/видео.htmlsi=xWWwGAlr3DM-X_ge Have a great day!
What type of art can we create that will bring in millions of dollars? (If it works, and I make 500 million dollars, I'll split it with you). Seriously, great channel! Keep up the good work.
The art that sells for millions of dollars is contemporary art; after working your way to the very top in the contemporary art world-think of established gallery representation, institutional exhibitions, being featured in renowned collections and magazines, et cetera. A long road, but it can be very rewarding! PS: Don't forget me in a few years when you make that half a billion ;-) Have a great day!
There is such a thing 'turns' in the retail world. Those whom you casually call 'desperate and low quality artists' could be making more money than you on these mass input platforms, by just selling 'cheap' art a lot more often. Takes work, time, effort and patience to gain followers. It does not make them desparate or lessthan. It means they are successful in their own lane. Far from desperate!! Every time I come here, I find myself looking up your nose...
The thing is that the online gallerys charge so much money for your membership that its a waste. Or they take 50+ .% of each sale. Can i ask you, How many pantings have you sold online? I have made quite a lot of sales online with these companys and it often feels like you are beeing robbed. Best is to sell them yourself. Anyway thanks for the video. Best /David

Also - I'm curious about the art behind you

The pleasure is all mine, thank you for tuning in ❤🙏
Please do a video about business cards for artists. I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the different possibilities... thanks
I recently discovered your YT channel. This video was really informative, thank you.
It is a wonderful resource to know the up-dated info on art marketplaces online.

What is the art world's take on exhibitions where some sort of participation fee is included? Or a submission fee? And why?
The thing is that the online gallerys charge so much money for your membership that its a waste. Or they take 50+ .% of each sale.

I have just left Singulart (was by the top selling 15%) Their new monthly fee plus 50% fee on each sale was too much.
