The ideal of the suffering artist who stays faithful to his vision is misleading. An interview with Frank Lemloh
Published: 26.03.2024

In art universities, the subject of “how to earn money from art” including “how to earn money from designing beautiful and meaningful objects, such as textiles, ceramics, glass, and jewelry, for customers” is a huge taboo. A country's economy and image can benefit from creatives' work when artists abandon limiting beliefs. Loukia Richards/SMCK Magazine interviewed Frank Lemloh, founder and managing director of the consultancy and coaching firm Fink & Zeisig in Leipzig, on how artists can design a successful career.
The article is an exclusive interview published in SMCK Magazine's latest issue (3/2024).
