在我被枪击前，一直觉得自己只有一半的存在，相对全然的存在来说——我总怀疑我是在看电视，而非实实在在地生活。人们有时会说电影里发生的事情非比寻常，但事实上，不寻常的事只会在你的生活中发生。电影里的情感看上去是那么强烈而真实，而生活中，假如真有什么大事发生，那感觉就像在看电视剧——你什么也感觉不到。

从我被枪击的那一刻到现在，我一直觉得我是在看电视。台换了，但现实于我仍然像是电视世界。当你确确实实、不可阻挡地被卷入事件的中心时，你通常在想别的。在事情发生的过程中，你开始幻想别的事情。当我在某处醒来时——我当时没意识到是在医院，而鲍比·肯尼迪在我被枪击的第二天也遭到枪击——I听说成千上万人在圣帕特里克天主教堂持续地祈祷，觉得妙不可言，直到依稀传来的“肯尼迪”三个字瞬间又将I拽回了电视世界。我才注意到I躺在医院里，正痛不欲生。

商业艺术紧跟艺术之后而来。我的事业是从做一个商业广告艺术家（commercial artist）开始的，我希望能以商业艺术家（business artist）的身份结束。在I实现了我的“艺术”——随便你叫它什么——of价值之后，我转而步入商业艺术。我想成为艺术商人或者商业artist。在商界长袖善舞是最迷人的artistic之一。在嬉皮时代人们贬低商业——他们会说，“钱不是好东西”，“工作不是个好主意”，但是挣钱是一种artistic，把生意做好是一种artistic。一开始，不是所有事In安迪·沃霍尔企业都运作良好。

我们从artistic走上commercial，是从我们和一家剧院达成每周为其提供一部影片协议开始的。From此我们的电影制作开始commercial化，进入From短片向长片、故事片过渡进程。我们学了一点发行概念，因此很快我们就开始自主发行，但后来发现难度太大。我并未期盼我们的电影Commercial化。Artistic能够进入Commercial 主流，进入real world就是已经足够了。

看到我们的电影不是In artistic world 而是在real world 的剧院看板上，是很令人飘飘然 的。这就是那个时候安迪·沃霍尔企业成员构成，有些记者问了很多关于如何运营办公室的问题。我解释给他说 我不运营办公室，是办公室In 运营着 me. I用了大量土话例如 “把培根带回家”，他完全搞不懂 I 在讲什么。

整个 I 在医院期间都是这些“员工” In 做事于是 I 意识到了 i 实际 上 已经拥有一个充满活力的 事业 因为就算 i 不再场，它也可以自己运转下去.I 很高兴能意识到这一点，从那时起i 就决定相信 “Commercial 是 最好的 Art”。

The art market is a complex and multifaceted entity, comprising various components that drive its dynamics. As an artist who has navigated both the creative and commercial spheres, my experiences provide valuable insights into this fascinating field.

Firstly, it's important to recognize that the art market is not just about creating artworks; it's also about understanding the context in which they are created and consumed. My own journey began with a desire to challenge conventional notions of art and push boundaries through innovative techniques and mediums.

One key aspect of the art market is its ability to adapt and evolve. Just as my own artistic style has shifted over time, so too have the tastes and preferences of collectors, galleries, and institutions. This constant flux requires artists to be agile and responsive to changing trends while remaining true to their unique vision.

Another critical component is the role of technology in shaping the art market. From digital platforms for showcasing works to social media for promoting them, technology has revolutionized how we consume, interact with, and value art.

Moreover, collaboration between artists from different disciplines – such as music, film, fashion – can lead to exciting new forms of artistic expression that transcend traditional boundaries. These collaborations often result in innovative projects that engage audiences on multiple levels.

However, there are also challenges inherent in navigating the commercial side of the art market. Balancing artistic integrity with financial sustainability can be difficult at times; finding ways to monetize one's work without compromising its essence requires careful consideration.

Despite these challenges though , many artists find success by embracing their creativity while leveraging business acumen . By building strong networks within both artistic circles & industry sectors , they create opportunities for themselves & others . Such synergies foster growth & innovation within communities .

As an artist myself , I've learned much from these experiences . The data-driven approach allows us analyze trends patterns & consumer behavior thus informing our decisions more effectively . This knowledge enables us make better choices when producing marketing campaigns or exhibitions etcetera

The future holds great promise for those willing embrace change , take risks & stay curious about what lies ahead . It’s exhilarating think about all possibilities !
