Marketing on the Art Industry

Idea: Since the early days of modernism, artists have accepted a predicament to the economy surrounding their work as artists. New markets have developed, trade restrictions have decreased and results of globalization have affected the art market. Despite the financial crisis, art has engaged attention with new investors. Art today arises in places without a market for art, or in countries where a capitalist market is not the primary mode of social and cultural organization. Art can exist without a market, but artists depend on a certain economy in order to live and make art part of their lives.
