The art
world, and especially the art market, is always evolving. Economic, social and political trends can all
affect changes in the art market. As an
artist, you should understand how the commercial art world works so that you
can make progress in attaining your professional goals and objectives,
especially if you are determined to make a living from your artwork. Regardless of if you are self-published or
work with a publisher, at some point you will likely find yourself debating the
pros and cons of selling your artwork in a gallery setting.
