Arts and artists from an economic perspective
UNESCO Publishing,
06 March 2003, France
This book by Xavier Greffe examines the relationship between the fine arts and economics: the contribution of various art forms toward economic growth and development, and the impact of economic factors on the creation of art.
The author explores then the various dynamics that influence the development of the artistic sector: a revolving compromise between heritage and creation, a continuous passage between an original work of art and the products of cultural industries and a constant shift between for-profit and nonprofit institutions.
