The Old is New Again

11 Jun The Old is New Again

" In Today’s art world, there is a large number of young artists receiving an extraordinary amount of attention and financial support compared to five ten years ago. There is a lot of criticism that this success is based on hype and that artists are overly ambitious, which I don’t agree with." Janelle Reiring of Metro Pictures in The Art Dealers, written in 1984.

"These days its not unusual for grad students to fret if a dealer hasn’t picked them up yet, or for people still in school to be already making tens of thousands of dollars off their work while their critic/teacher is making next to nothing.–         There’s nothing wrong with showing work when your young, but art has to be its own reward. Artists have to think not only about having 30-month careers but about 30-year careers as well."Jerry Saltz in Modern Painters, June 05 Issue.
