What a museum director had to say about Making It in the Art World:
The global art world of the 21st century is increasingly complex, and
hard-hearted. Tens of thousands of art school graduates and
self-educated artists enter the scene every year, and in their own way, each wants to make a living from their work, while pursuing a
meaningful career. The prospects for success are slim, yet the flow
of new talent continues unabated.
In a remarkably useful guidebook for artists trying to find their
way, the artist Brainard Carey has spelled out in a clear and concise
manner, a series of strategies and techniques that, taken as a whole,
are the equivalent of that elusive course in real-world preparedness
that most art schools gloss over or simply ignore. In addition to
his thoughtful and thorough approach to the subject, Carey's candor
and complete lack of cynicism and posturing makes this book a
must-read for any emerging artist.
