Does it matter , an artist's attitude , by dotdot on Feb 9, 2014 16:12:17 GMT 1, Just a thought for you all.
Does an artist's attitude either in general or towards their fans/collectors matter ?
If you for example were keen on someone's art without knowing anything about said artist , then they did or said something you didn't agree with , would this affect your view of that artist and... Their art ?
It's a subject I find myself having more now a days due to both the commercialisation of urban art and.. The pitfalls this brings... And yes there are some.
Sometimes it doesn't take much , it seems , to have a a collector sell an artistes output due to said artists behaviour .... Strange but true.
Without going into any particular artists , what are your thoughts.. People ?

Does it matter , an artist's attitude , by johnnyh on Feb 9, 2014 16:50:28 GMT 1, Think this is very important. Think the artists concept both in work and view is important whatever that is Artist must be genuine to their beliefs for the work to be true. Also believe nothing wrong with them making money
But would turn against an artist I believe to be false. Ai Wei Wei is a good example for me

Does it matter , an artist's attitude , by spencerlee on Feb 9, 2014 16:52:17 GMT 1, Yep. I had the chance to buy an artists work. Some nice originals at a reasonable price, straight from him. But everything about him annoys me. Apart from his work! So I didn't give him the business.
He has a good work ethic etc. But he comes across as a right cunt.

Does it matter , an artist's attitude , by Deleted on Feb 9, 2014 17:02:40 GMT 1, There's an artist who ripped off someone a good friend of mine knows. The artist ripped her off about ยฃ2k which she lent them (she thought they were friends) and blew it mainly on drugs.
This artist sometimes posts on this forum but I will never buy from them.

Does it matter , an artist's attitude , by minibear on Feb 9, 2014 17:11:11 GMT 1, I suppose it depends if you are buying said work for profit or personality. I wouldn't buy from an artist I knew and personally disliked. If I don't know the artist but hear they are a bad person, that is a different matter.
Customer satisfaction is surely the key to being successful (at least in the beginning) for most artists, so I guess it 'pays to be nice' in this instance.

Does it matter , an artist's attitude , by mega on Feb 9, 2014 17:13:58 GMT 1, Hi all...new to the forum. Interesting question - my opinion: Definitely! I don't know if it "should" - but I know for me personally - an artists attitude can make or break my desire to follow, find, cheer on, purchase their art. That's just me...I don't feel like I am educated enough on the art world of galleries and such to comment on the effect on any one other than myself...just my two cents.

Does it matter , an artist's attitude , by Dr Plip on Feb 9, 2014 17:17:12 GMT 1, I used to collect original sequential art (*cough! Comic book art! Cough! Geek! *Cough!) and had a few pieces from an artist I liked. Then was lucky enough to spend time with him. Guy was a berk. Told myself I could still like his art. Couldn't. Since sold them. Really lame, but it seemed to take some pleasure away from the work.
I hate meeting people I admire and then walking away thinking that they're arseholes. Then again, I also hate meeting people I admire and having them walk away knowing that I'm an arsehole.
The majority are very helpful and friendly though.
I think an artist's attitude and persona can add something to their art (even cash value), but it can also subtract from it. Like Hitler's paintings.

Does it matter , an artist's attitude , by Coach on Feb 9, 2014 17:24:30 GMT 1, Yes it matters. Either if the artist is a toe rag or has political views that I disagree with. I have only had one bad experience that would make me not buy from an artist. Agreed size and price for a commission. He said he was working on something for someone else, and would do mine afterwards. Didn't hear anything for a while so contacted him again. He told me that his work was now more expensive and told me what the new price would be, and it was hugely more expensive than the agreed price. Emailed him twice, very politely asking him to honour our agreement that we had reached. He ignored both emails. It saddens me, because his work is fantastic. Pieces by him are shown on here, and get much admiration. I have to bite my tongue, because I think what he did was out of order. Now I wouldn't want to hang anything by him on my wall. So, yes, it matters to me. But I do have to say that 99% of artists are utterly charming, and I feel privileged to know the ones that I do.

Like you, most of my dealings have been with very polite and accomodating artists, often going out of their way to help ( War Boutique and Jimmy South take a bow ). I agree with your statement ".. if the artist is a toe rag or has political views that I disagree with" as I too wouldn't bother with their work, no matter how good. I would cut my nose off to spite my face if it came to it.

Does it matter , an artist's attitude , by taco on Feb 9, 2014 18:06:15 GMT 1, Think it does, as difficult to disassociate emotions and feelings about the artist from the art itself. I have the same thing with music. if I really dislike an artist as a person, for whatever reason, just hearing the music makes me annoyed. Some times it rational (eg johnny burrel) sometimes not (van morrison)...

Does it matter , an artist's attitude , by iamzero on Feb 9, 2014 20:46:25 GMT 1, I remember standing outside POW once when an artist was painting the outside for a show... Ignorant p*ick. Don't like his art anyway so no biggie. Not sure it matters to me, if I liked the art enough I'd hang it even if I didn't like the artist too much. I don't dig a lot of musicians politics but doesn't stop me buying albums.

Does it matter , an artist's attitude , by sin on Feb 9, 2014 20:50:58 GMT 1, As with most things in life, it depends.
Retna's attitude during his last print drop put me off with chasing down his work. Other artists I have met are rather stand offish but I chalk it up to them being paralyzingly shy or a bit crazy which I imagine contributes to the art. If the work is strong and honest I am drawn to it and if it fits the collection I make an effort to pick up a piece that I connect with. On the opposite end of the spectrum I have a few folks that are exceedingly nice, but their art isnt strong and their niceness doesn't make me want to buy their art more.
So as long as someone doesnt do something stupid, like thug out and post stupid shit on instagram that shows them to be a knuckle dragger, I base it all on the art. I dont expect the artist to be some welcoming PR bottle of warm milk, and if they are it doesnt make up for their lack of artistic merit.

Sin when you use terms like "thug" and "knuckle dragger" I find those terms to be offensive towards black people. In the US those terms are often coded racial comments. I'm not saying that was your intention but just wanted to mention that.

I get that this is a product of the culture they grew up in, and street artists are disinclined toward political correctness in general, but there's no question it's still extremely off-putting. I like to think the art I admire is the output of a subtle and complex mind, so it's like nails on a chalkboard when you see an artist degrade themselves in that way.

As I said here in th US those terms are often connected to race. A black person will often be called a thug instead of the n-word and "knuckle dragger" with its reference to an ape or monkey has been used offensively towards blacks.
I'm not implying Sin meant it that way but I thought it was worth mentioning. I don't think it's a bad thing when someone takes a minute to point out something they may be aware of that someone else might not.
My mother still calls Aisans "orientals". I've given up on that one though.

Does it matter , an artist's attitude , by sharpster on Feb 9, 2014 23:05:51 GMT 1, wanted to buy a print from an artist as a wedding present for close friends of mine as I knew they were fans of his work. Webstore was supposed to be "coming soon" so I tried to contact this guy via his facebook page and sent emails as well... several emails were ignored with no reply.. just as I posted on his facebook page and complaint he didnt answer emails, he finally replied and told me I should tell him what I want and he could send something over. I promptly replied with the print I wanted to have and didnt hear a single reply ever since even though I tried my luck several times again.. well in the end I spent my money on sth else I knew the couple would like but dissappointing and poor customer service to say the least...
wanted to buy a print from an artist as a wedding present for close friends of mine as I knew they were fans of his work.

Does it matter , an artist's attitude , by sin on Feb 9, 2014 23:31:56 GMT 1, thug means thug. knuckle dragger means knuckle dragger. Frankly the behavior of Retna is indefensible, call it what you want. I've grown tired of people trying to make words be analogs for other words. Pick a word that means violent, no class, dickshit jester in the bullshit kingdom of fine art and that's what I meant

a cruel or vicious ruffian, robber, or murderer.
Someone who says they are going to beat someone up because of what they said about their print drop and says they are a real nigga fits my definition of a cruel or vicious ruffian. I suppose someone who manipulates their own print drop for the benefit of friends at the detriment of fans can also be considered a robber.
