Laurent Jeanpierre believes that “the artist career can be understood as the interaction between self-development as assessed through comparison of the individual’s successive states as she acquire capital and information about herself and the gradual revelation of individual value via the inter individual contests”
He believes the income gap can be explained by the large amount of inexperienced workers working for a low income, who often abandon it as a career and the small number who are successful.
Networking is important to becoming successful, it comes down to who you know.
Jeanpierre has found three reasons to explain the “talent and inequality in the arts”. The first is difference in quality. The second is the feedback by others. Lastly is the ability to job match. Further in his article Jeanpierre does state that artwork success is uncertain”.
