Absolutely! With established artists where all the work is done in terms of their legacy and future estate, they canonize everything and make it publicly available. Michelangelo Pistoletto is another perfect example, where they document and archive their entire life and oeuvre

Another very good and informative video. Finally the best options if you sell your art on your website it is better to sell you main art and if you want to sell some merchandising it is better to do it via another website different from the main one unless you should harm your carreer. This resonates to me.
Really appreciate your excellent content! If your work is surrealistic, do you think it's a good idea to include a Blog section with posts about certain works that describe and explain the symbolism and inspirations for the work or is it better to just let it be completely mysterious? Thank you if you have time to respond!
The pleasure is all mine! When pursuing success in the art world, having a blog on your website is not advised as it is kind of frowned upon to overly explain or talk about yourself. Therefore, for additional context and text, the 'Press' or 'Texts' page is more suited and accepted. Wishing you all the best!
Hi, I really appreciate all the free and useful information for us. I have one question If a traditional artist is also working on NFT, should they show all their work in one category or separate groupings?
Great question, feel free to categorize your works per artistic discipline and add a separate category for NFTs or digital art. Wishing you all the best!
As an artist, I also love websites when you may see all artist’s works, not only current projects or best pieces. Just to find out more about subjects, techniques… a gallery however may prefer a different approach, but a web site is not only for to be used by industry professionals, isn’t it?…
Absolutely, the answer to your question or the approach will be different depending on your goals as an artist. Here at CAI, we always formulate our advice to pursue success in the art world, hence the advised portfolio selection. Wishing you all the best
I have an important question. As an artist, should I mention what my day work is? I am working as a mashine operator, I even managed to do art with the mashines we have here- is that a good thing to share?
I have seen many video artists use image stills or animated image stills (aka gif) but obviously you want to keep the gif intentional. Also I have seen embedded Vimeo videos featuring trailers, installation or full video work. But obviously having the entire video was on your website may cannibalise future opportunities or may offer a subpar experience. I have seen some incredible large scale video triptychs over 10m long. To have that huge immersive experience on a 16” macbook would be underwhelming and lots of details lost.
So are you suggesting to have this… metadata…on the same page as the artwork image please? I currently have a ‘slideshow’ presentation… and think right now there is a place for that info with this square space design…I have to see. Where else would the metadata best show up if it’s not directly with the artwork photo? Good to see you two again. Brilliant spring to you and the CAI community here. Thank you. Sincerely, Janet
Hi Janet, thank you for tuning in once more. The best location is in the caption of the artwork, so below or next to it-but never on top of it. Feel free to have a look at the example websites from this video. I link to every single one of them in the description of this video. Wishing you all the best!
Hi Julian, thank you for your the invaluable content, great mix of practical advice and education. I've recently heard a lot of content from Magnus Resch author of 'How to Collect Art' praising the merits of a transparent artwork pricing on instagram and artist websites for emerging unrepresented artists. It would be great to hear your response and defense against his critiques of traditional models of art sales etiquette. Thanks so much. -Kristone Capistrano from Sydney/Manila
I like Christopher Wool’s website & Gerhard Richter’s website because they show every work that they have done.
Absolutely! With established artists where all the work is done in terms of their legacy and future estate, they canonize everything and make it publicly available. Michelangelo Pistoletto is another perfect example, where they document and archive their entire life and oeuvre
I'm delighted I found you: your videos re xlear, concise, informative, useful and engaging. Thank you
That's great, most welcome!
… and I appreciate your work to make the list of artist sites… to study a bit…very helpful…
I have my website submission and presentation tomorrow! Thanks for the video
Perfect timing, wishing you all the best 🤞🙌
thank you@@contemporaryartissue . Just added different sections for the cv + contact and a main bio page. Very useful indeed! Thanks again

Great advice for people starting out! Any tips for moving-image artists?
