is it true

Today I had a thought about art and fame. Specifically visual art.

And I wonder.

Is it true, artists want to be famous.

Is it true, galleries and museums want to make artists famous.

Is it true, galleries and museums want to show famous artists.

Is it true, only famous artists are good artists.

If so, how has this affected the visual art.


There are times I think I want to be a famous artist.

I think I want this because I believe this would mean my work would be out there for people to enjoy.

But, I don’t believe this will happen.

And I wonder.

Will this not happen because I don’t believe it can.

Is it true?
