Jeff Koons (a famous contemporary pop artist in the United States)
I myself do not believe in market-driven. In fact, I have very few works every year, but I believe there is a platform for you to do what you want to do. People pay for my work because some people in society desire it because my work, like the works of many other artists in the world, have a sense of appreciation. I believe that giving myself strength and trying to coordinate resources to serve my works as much as possible can there be a political and economic platform that allows artists to gain strength as much as possible. Just like if a basketball player thinks of a slam dunk, he has to let his feet jump from the ground.
Speaking of economics, you never have to own a work of art in person. You know I love Titian very much, but I don't have a piece of his work. I really enjoyed and understood those rich meanings, all the magic and the parts that could be transformed, it was about ideas. I also like Duchamp, who has a greater influence on me than any other artist, but I don’t have a “urinal”, do I need one? No. I have his idea. You can feel the art. At the same time, the art today is more accessible than at any time in history. Because of the Internet, you can surf the Internet, watch exhibitions, and do research. You can print a painting on your wall and it is easier to get close to than ever before.

You know, most artists with good economic conditions will say, "The art market is so bad, my work should never be sold for that much money." But when they sell a work, they will immediately go to the bank to deposit money. If you look at the history of art, Leonardo da Vinci is an extremely, extremely wealthy person. Because he provides something good for society, his wealth is normal. And what is really great? Now through the expansion of the art market and the profits generated by art, more people can participate in art. Now there are so many people in it: they can write art, take photos of art, open galleries, and the entire system expands in all different directions because people believe in art, and to some extent, the economic connections inside. This is a positive thing. So if some people say that the economy is a negative thing, it is damaging the foundation of the entire system.

If you say that these things are made just to make money, it is not art, but production, which is another matter. I don't think those artists who are only interested in money are really involved in the conversations of art, because you don't pay much attention to them. When you come across a real work of art, you always know that when it is not a real work of art, you always know.
