is it simply a matter of ingratiating yourself with the elite of the art world?
it seems clear you can become famous with very little real substance.
conversely, are there wonderful artists out there with no recognition simply because they havent sucked up to the right people.
if the whole basis for who gets to the top is fake anyway, why dont we have a tv programme called ART IDOL where contestants get to make works of art, which get voted on, and the crappest most spurious works of art get to be publicly destroyed!
if everything else is getting dummed down, why should art be immune?
after all its 98% ego and self image anyway, and always has been.
lets turn them all into celebrities the humble little darlings!

If art is something you HAVE to do, no matter what, because it keeps you sane, makes you happy, helps you understand (or briefly escape) this crazy world; if creativity fulfills you spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, physically even (or a combination thereof)...then what difference does it make if you're famous or not?
I agree: there is more than one art "mafia" that is NOT (necessarily) run by artists. And, yes, that's NOT fair. (But neither is life "fair"...which is why "bad things happen to good people"...and vice versa.)
Personally, one of the last things I need (or want) is one more reality/ competition show on television (or anywhere else for that matter!)!

If you produce work, a lot of art work, wait till you die; then somebody disover it and voila, "the work of a great artist.. who recently dies".
So you do not get the money, simply you watch from the other side and anjoy.
