The Business of Art: Based on the widely acclaimed National Endowment for the Arts and Small Business Administration series, this all-in-one handbook explains the winning formulas that enable artists, art dealers, and other professionals to build successful careers. Photos and illustrations.
The Business of Art (Paperback, ISBN: 0735200130) by Lee Caplin. Lee Caplin also references 52 other Art Business related books.
Lee Caplin says, "When I was Special Assistant Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, visual artists had few ways to support themselves except for grants. Apart from the special few, little hope existed for selling their art, and most artists had no idea of how to "go about it." I assembled an internationally respected group of artists, dealers, art lawyers and accountants and put them in front of tens of thousands of artists nationwide. Through questions and answers, speeches and demonstrations, a distilled book's worth of unique knowledge and advice came into being. Unlike any other books that give one artist's opinion, or one "art advisor's advice" this book does something different: the straight story comes directly from the most outstanding and respected authorities in the field. No other book does this. No other authority can provide this knowledge in a single volume. The Business of Art is now the basis for college level courses on the business side of art. There is also a companion video sold by Phoenix Films at 800-221-1274. Used together, they provide artists and art groups with a wealth of learning material for either immediate use or continuing education of artists worldwide."
