Tips for a Successful Career in the Art World;Britain’s Top 50 Galleries
Life as an aspiring artist is an endless sea of precarious arrangements, commercial demands, and cutthroat competitiveness. How to cope?
Phaidon has come to the rescue with Akademie X: Lessons in Art + Life, a fantastic compilation of advice for struggling creative types from top artists (and role models), including Marina Abramovi? (see Are You Ready for a Marina Abramovi? Memoir?), Dara Birnbaum, ólafur Elíasson, Joan Jonas, Miranda July, Neo Rauch, and Richard Wentworth. (See 10 Tips for Promoting Yourself (and Your Art) on Instagram.)
artnet News has trawled the book to distill the most useful pearls of wisdom, so you can hit the ground running.
Sanford Biggers

– “If you want a normal life, get a normal job.” Sanford Biggers lays down the law, short and sweet.
– “WORST: 1.) The emphasis, since the 1980’s, on making art as a specialist professional ‘career’ rather than as a passionate experiment. 2.) The obsession with the artist as a future ‘art star.’ 3.) The obsession with making an academic rationale for art, a good example being the overuse of the world ‘problematize.’ 4.) Teaching only the contemporary art that is found in the magazines in the library.” Dan Graham on everything that’s wrong with MFA programs (see The Met’s Roof Opens for Summer With Mirrored Dan Graham Pavilion).
Katharina Grosse

– “It’s important for young artists to be clear about what they want. When thinking about what galleries they want to work with they need to consider whether they want financial success, comfort and support, or eventual fame. I look for dealers who challenge me. I had my first gallery representation when I was 35.” Katharina Grosse on keeping calm and focused.
– “Creating a non-purposive, free space in which to play and have fun is essential. You can tell when you are looking at art that was a drag to make: it’s a drag to look at.” Carol Bove on keeping things clever yet playful.
– “There aren’t too many do’s and don’ts in my classes, but at the same time art is not exempt from moral responsibility. Don’t do anything that is illegal or that can hurt someone. Don’t use your art to exploit or as a tool to advance racism, homophobia or sexism.” Charles Gaines recaps some very basic ethic rules.
– “Your life right now is as real as it will ever be. It won’t be more real in the future, when you get into or out of college or into or out of a relationship or a job or a financial quagmire or a health problem. In fact, the things keeping you back—these embarrassing, boring, stupid obstacles—are the heart of what it is to be human. They’re the whole reason for making and needing art.” Miranda July, on embracing life as it is (see Lena Dunham and Miranda July Talk Taboos and Miranda July Releases a Messaging App With a Message).

– “I think that art can be made with virtually anything, so I don’t believe you have to be in a particular kind of economy, cultural context, or a unique space, or have specific items available with which to make art. People who are creative can make art wherever they are.” Wangechi Mutu, on why you should stop looking for excuses not to make art (see An Interview with Artist Wangechi Mutu: A Fantastic Journey and Wangechi Mutu-Designed Clothing Line for Victoria Beckham Helps Fight African AIDS Crisis).
– “As an alternative to the tedious embracement of ‘failure’ in the studio, I say instead, ‘just lie.’ Work towards the ideal or towards misunderstood success. But for god’s sake, do not work to fail.” Michelle Grabner, who doesn’t take advice from Samuel Beckett.
– “If you are having a hard time getting the creative juices churning, try starting with what you know. […] Don’t feel that you have to reinvent the wheel; be patient and hopefully something will come out. If you are on a deadline, try not to indulge your insecurities; get the job done, and wait until the reviews come in before facing the self-fulfilling prophecy that you are indeed a fraud.” Michael Smith, on not being one’s worst enemy.

– “Deciding to be a research artist isn’t a tendency or a fashion; it’s not a curatorial strategy to display things in a space, but a way to see your responsibility in the practice of art and your role as an artist in society.” Tania Bruguera on keeping things committed and socially engaged (see Tania Bruguera’s Arrest Slows the US–Cuba Thaw, Cuban Government Brands Tania Bruguera a Criminal and Why Is the Havana Biennial Afraid of Tania Bruguera and is she the Cuban Ai Wei Wei?).
– “If I could go back in time and speak to my twenty-three-year-old-self, my advice would be threefold: travel further and more often to see what art actually looks like, figuring out sooner which ideas are currently convincing, which have become passé; spend more time making stuff, less time thinking about it; and do a better job of networking, staying in touch with people who show interest or friendship.” Life lessons courtesy of Thomas Lawson.

– Stop making ‘art’ and start making your work. […] It’s so easy to make things that look like art, act like art, get sold like art, yet in the end aren’t really art, but are phantoms, mere commodities, or quantifiable digestible sound bites.” Stephanie Syjuco, on staying clear of Zombie Formalism and finding one’s own path (see Have Art Fairs Destroyed Art? Zombie Abstraction and Dumb Painting Ruled in Miami)

Europe’s Top 55 Galleries You Need To Know—Part 2
Photo: Courtesy Art Basel
Europe’s cities offer a wealth of contemporary art galleries, making the continent an important destination for art lovers across the world. Those looking to admire both established and leading artists, as well as seek out new and emerging talent, flock both to the obvious choices such as London, Berlin, and Paris—not to mention Basel—but also to lesser-known hot-spots like Istanbul, Budapest, and Athens.
While London may be the dominant center, offering a one-stop-shop option for traveling Middle Eastern, Russian, and Asian collectors, in addition to home-grown ones, the European art markets continue to thrive and excite. What’s more, Europe’s galleries are usually “must-go” destinations if you are following an emerging European talent.
But the European market is eclectic, scattered, and in constant flux. Berlin is still a hotspot, but other hubs are on the rise. Selecting the continent’s top commercial galleries can be a tricky task. artnet News has picked 55 contemporary galleries from all across Europe that you need to know. The carefully selected group combines well-known galleries that enjoy widespread recognition, listed by location, as well as smaller spaces that deserve to be in the spotlight.
Part Two of the top 55 European Galleries is below (click here for Part One). See our Top 200 Collectors: Part One and Part Two, and our Top 20 Most Innovative Collectors, for more on who is behind the market today. See also The 100 Most Powerful Women in Art: Part One, Part Two, and Part Three).

Britain’s Top 50 Galleries
The British Isles’ commercial gallery scene is a difficult one to map. With its endless string of openings, closures, and expansions, it’s a terrain in constant flux. (And beyond the gallery scene, we map the greater art world and the key figures in its landscape—see our top lists of the Most Influential Women in the European Art World, Europe’s 10 Best Art Fairs in 2014, Europe’s 12 Best Exhibitions in 2014, and the World’s Top 20 Biennials, Triennials, and Miscellennials.)
European collectors are taken for granted in the capital, but London is also a key stopover for collectors from regions as varied as the Middle East, Russia, and Asia. The temptation to open an outpost in town has proven too strong to resist for a slew of blue chip foreigners, including David Zwirner and Marian Goodman. While the areas of Mayfair and St James reign supreme, new hubs keep coming up, most recently in Fitzrovia and Bermondsey. What’s more, great commercial galleries are not just to be found within the capital city. Although markedly fewer in number, there are key galleries to be found far from ?Piccadilly Circus—in Dublin, Edinburgh, and Glasgow.
The sheer breadth of the gallery offerings in the UK has given the country a leading edge in modern and contemporary art, making it the European center of the art trade. Dealers play a key role in sustaining the country’s position as the world’s second art market, which according to the TEFAF Art Market Report 2015, represented 22 percent of the global art market in 2014, on a par with China (see 40 Percent of World Gallery Art Sales Made at Fairs and Other Key Findings in the TEFAF Art Market Report 2015).
