Re: What do you think about the cuts in arts funding?
One of the most successful artists I personally knew, if you discount Hockney, and Gilbert and George, was apprenticed to a painter, straight out of school, and had people queueing up to buy his work at fifty grand a pop, in the late eighties.
No formal art education. No state funding.
People purely appreciated what he did, and were prepared to pay handsomely for it.
