Into the World of Fine Arts
As Allan Schwartzman, chair of Sothebys Fine Art Division, recalls, in the late 1970s, there was no market for contemporary art. Contemporary art percolates through the worlds of celebrity and mass culture, with global brands eager to collaborate with artists as they grow in popularity.
Visual artists’ work is seen by audiences in Jay-Z videos, on the covers of Vogue, on Louis Vuitton handbags, Nike sneakers, and Tequila advertising campaigns, among thousands of other places that are far more visible than traditional art contexts, and museums benefit from this expanded viewing range.
The start of Comtemporary Artists
Contemporary artists employ their abilities, imagination, and skills to create works of art that contribute to the world’s beauty and richness.
They create works for a global network of museums, commercial art galleries, public art organizations, and artist-run spaces. We delve into the art world as myths about the art industry’s rise are debunked.

The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree program is designed for students who wish to pursue careers as professional artists or graduate with a degree in fine arts.
Students of Fine Arts can choose from three curricula focusing on painting, photography, sculpture, or a new genre. Fine Arts programs provide students interested in transferring to a four-year program with a visual arts curriculum.
The bachelor of fine arts degree is designed for students interested in pursuing careers in the arts. It is a rigorous program that combines conservatory education, traditional studio education, and liberal arts education. Art schools are laboratories in which students not only learn how to create art, but also how to behave as artists.
Prominent art colleges are teeming with art professionals who are not career teachers but instead visit as guest artists, critics, and curators who ignore students as young artists and prey.
Not only those who write for newspapers teach in art schools. The art world is a significant industry that operates privately and is rarely subject to public regulation.
Art is a toy for the rich
The art world is an unregulated industry in which the wealthy and powerful exert dominance without regard for the rule of law. It is a professional milieu in which beauty, the allure of eroticism, serves as currency and those who possess it flaunt it.
Unlike airlines, which have ceased requiring flight attendants to look like models, the art world has not abandoned its galleries. Dealers own the artworks, and galleries spend considerable time and money developing an artist’s brand. Galleries promote artists by exhibiting them at art shows and fairs such as Basel.
The galleries choose buyers based on their inclusion in large collections, which indicates that the artists’ work is supported by the art world. This increases the artist’s portfolio’s value and elevates the artist to a prestige class.

Simultaneously, there was a downward trend in the price of art in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with works of art sourced from the decorative arts. In art galleries, primary art sales – that is, art purchased by artists rather than collectors – take place. Collectors purchase art for personal reasons, and artists who sell to these types of galleries do not make a living selling their work.
The visual arts are classified into five major categories: painting, sculpture, architecture, music, poetry, and performing arts, which includes theater and dance. The visual arts are defined as “visual arts created for aesthetic or intellectual purposes, as determined by their beauty and significance in painting, sculpture, drawing, watercolor, graphics, and architecture.”
The term was coined in the 1990s to refer to the young British artist Turner Prize, but has since become synonymous with contemporary art that does not employ traditional painting and sculpture techniques.
Drawing is a critical aspect of fine art, and all painters require drawing abilities. For review and evaluation purposes, art students are required to retain sketchbooks from their high school studies. As a Fine Arts student at Otis College, you can develop and visualize your ideas.
Artist Paradise
The Art company is a visual arts company that offers a variety of web-related products and services to artists, photographers, and galleries, including an easy-to-use visual arts website.
Stroll through Friedrichshain, an alternative art space on the gallery’s eastern side of the 1.3-kilometre Berlin Wall section – which now houses works by over 100 international artists – or along the river to see Jonathan Borofsky’s Molecule Man sculpture.
With stunning public sculptures, world-famous art galleries, and a burgeoning street art scene, cities are ideal destinations for self-confessed art lovers. From the venerable Sao Paulo Biennial, the world’s second-oldest Biennial of Art after Venice, to the Museu de Arte Moderna, visitors can admire modern and contemporary Brazilian art in the gardens, which are home to over 30 outstanding sculptures, while galleries such as Choque Cultural provide insight into emerging talent.
Additionally, the Museo de Arte Moderna de la Capital de Colombia (Museo Botero) is worth a visit, as it houses 100 works by Colombian and Colombian artists.
It became public knowledge a few years ago that a young New York art collector had purchased a painting from a New York gallery. The collector then acquired the painting and profitably resold it without the permission of the galleries, effectively shutting him out of the art world.
