| description | Most artists earn very little. Nevertheless, there is no shortage of aspiring young artists. Do they give to the arts willingly or unknowingly? Governments and other institutions also give to the arts, to raise the low incomes. But their support is ineffective: subsidies only increase the artists' poverty. The economy of the arts is exceptional. Although the arts operate successfully in the marketplace, their natural affinity is with gift-giving, rather than with commercial exchange. People believe that artists are selflessly dedicated to art, that price does not reflect quality, and that the arts are free. But is it true? This unconventional multidisciplinary analysis explains the exceptional economy of the arts. Insightful illustrations from the practice of a visual artist support the analysis. |

Kunstenaars verdienen vaak weinig. Toch is er aan jonge kunstenaars geen gebrek! Nemen zij het beperkte financiële gewin voor lief of weten zij niet beter? De overheid levert een bijdrage om de lage inkomens te compenseren, maar door subsidies lijkt de armoede onder kunstenaars slechts toe te nemen. In deze onconventionele en multidisciplinaire studie analyseert fotograaf, schilder en econoom Hans Abbing de uitzonderlijke economie van de kunsten: wijden kunstenaars zich geheel belangenloos aan hun werk, of laten zij zich wel degelijk leiden door economische motieven. 2021-02-10T12:58:18Z 2010-12-31 23:55:55 2019-12-10 14:46:32 2020-04-01T15:33:40Z 2008 book 340245 OCN: 630532278 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35101 9789053565650 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/39732 eng open access image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg n/a n/a n/a n/a https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35101/1/340245.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35101/1/340245.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35101/1/340245.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35101/1/340245.pdf Amsterdam University Press 10.5117/9789053565650 10.5117/9789053565650 de2ecbe7-1037-4e96-8c3a-5a842d921e04 9789053565650 368 open access |
