Review
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Realities of Art as businessBy H. EllisAn excellent guide to the reality; and I mean reality; of what to expect in the business side of Being an Artist. Regular updates over the years keep this information vital. This is not a how-to book; but rather a reflection of what exists in the peculiar business side of the art world. There is no business model for artists that offer a promise of financial success. Though the extensive information here offers valuable insights into the current world; the rest is still luck of the draw.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
