The Guggenheim Museum’s 2 New Lines of House Paint

For artists who think that licensing their work is somehow wrong or too low brow an activity, consider what the Guggenheim has done to earn money.

They created two lines of house paint–Guggenheim Color by Fine Paints of Europe.

That’s right, the Guggenheim museum apparently found a way to earn a living selling house paint. I don’t know how the deal was set up, but perhaps it is an art licensing deal. Colors from the paintings in their collections–paintings by Van Gogh, Cezanne, Modigliani and others–are now manufactured in a new color line of house paints called Classical Colors.

For a second new paint line called Gallery Colors which contains 50 hues available in paint cans, the colors were inspired by colors used in Guggenheim exhibits and from the Frank Lloyd Wright designed museum building itself.

Artists have long used house paints on their canvases. Now they can get Modigliani colors.

Art World Etiquette at Openings

Image via Wikipedia

Many artists have eccentric behavior. Sometimes this is charming and interesting for those dealing with the artists. There are also times when such eccentricities do not serve the artist in advancing his or her art career.

Some artists behaviors are extreme, and perhaps even counterproductive. In the print book How To Sell Art, by gallerist J. Jason Horejs, the author describes encounters with artists who rail at the wealthy–their very market of art buyers!

Save the rants and manifestos for the artist cafes. When you are showing and selling your art and talking to art collectors and art professionals that’s the time to behave like a business professional.

Read this 12 point list of Guidelines for Openings, an excerpt from the book I like your work: art and etiquette, by Andrew Berardini.

“A key aspect of career advancement is getting talked about,” and you want that talk to be positive. ”You do what works best to get what you want done and that’s how the game is played.”– from an article on Art World Etiquette: http://www.artbusiness.com/osoqutstar.html
