The Underappreciated Workers of the Art World

The financial success of an artist depends greatly on the art dealer. The dealer can bring the artist celebrity and money that the artist alone would not be able to achieve. The artist should be allowed to create and not have to promote or sell their works all by themselves. To most artists, money is a necessary evil, it buys comfort, art supplies, but it doesn't fuel the fire of artistry.

Art dealers are artists in their own right. They are masters of business and communication and as in any great relationship, their talents most often fill in where their partner lacks. On the most part, the art dealer is in the background, they are not appreciated historically as is the artist. However, they are celebrated by the artists!

One very famous art dealer was the man that first sold an Andy Warhol Campbell Soup painting, that man was Leo Castelli. At the age of 50, he brought many important artists to the forefront of the American arts from his gallery on the Upper East Side of New York. Artists, such as Rauscehnberg, Jasper Johns, Cy Twombly and during the 1960's, Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.

The talents of the men and women that work with the artists, to bring attention to their work and sell them, are just as important as the paint, canvas and artistic talent that creates the works of art. They are a very important aspect of the creative process and it is a fine profession made up of business people from all backgrounds that are in it not for a love of money, but for a love of the arts.

The art dealer is only one of many professions that the art world has created. The artist creates their very own economy and is entirely responsible for so many different professions. There are the curators of museums and the guards that protect the art. There are the historians that document the art and the archaeologists that uncover lost treasures. Scientists are even employed to date ancient works as well as come up with new ways to protect the art.

Thanks should go out to all of the people that work and live for the arts. Without them our world would be much different, it would lack the creativity and sensitivity of the artist and their works that we need to remain centered and focused forever on the future of humanity. Each person works tirelessly and with so little credit, but their jobs are just as important as the artist's.

These people are often not considered when it comes to the funding of the arts. The economy of the art industry employs so many people and they depend on the livelihood of the artist and the encouragement for new artists every day. It is very important to consider these people when it comes to government funding as well as private donations.

When we think of the famous painters and sculptors of our time, we rarely think of all of the people that are behind the scenes. In some ways, the art overshadows not only these people but sometimes even the artist. Art is larger than life and it is easy to get caught up in it and lose sight of the millions of people that have made it possible to view that art.
