Is art really at an all time high?

all-time high
Shane K asked:

According to surveys and reports art sales and art investment is at an all time high since the renaissance. But is this really true? As a struggling artist I find it hard enough to sell my work, and all of my colleagues have the same problem….. I have to work as a graphics designer to make ends meet. A friend who owns a gallery says sales are at an all time low, so how is art sales and investments at an all-time high?

    Good art doesn’t necessarily sell well. But work from well known people can go for millions. If you want to make money, try drenching a doll in your own blood or something. Anything that will get you in the papers.

    Because more money is being paid for the stuff that people would pay for anyway. It doesn’t mean more stuff is being bought and sold. The rich are so rich that they’ll pay idiotic amounts of cash for something that they won’t appreciate, while a talented person such as yourself isn’t seen as being an investment because you’re not famous and/or dead.

    Art sales and investments are at an all time high. Unfortunately for modern artists the revenue is not in the modern works but dealings with existing and renowned works.
    However don’t be discouraged, keep working and someday long after your dead and gone your work will become valuable!
