How much money does a artist get paid?

Answer 1

Visual art, as worked on by an artist slogging along in work-person like fashion, is usually priced by area. In North America this is usually by the square inch. If a starting-to-show artist brings a dollar per square inch, of image size, retail, and doesn't have a meticulous, laborious, style, that's not so bad. That is rather low so it could ramp up from there depending on popularity. Well established artists (ten years), with a number of galleries and a few hundred sales under their belt cam bring two or three times that. One can move up at 10% a year from there, although in times of low inflation that could be a bit much. A balance of pragmatism and ego are essential. Academically sanctioned black paint and angst will only go so far. If you're all about that sort to expression, great, that is a perfectly valid and esential part of democratic expression, but, don't expect to make a living out of it other then on grants from institutions and such. Good, pragmatic, luck!
