""The first step towards a cure is admitting you have a problem," artist Josh Kline writes, highlighting the inequities in New York City's real estate market and its impact on art."
""Meaningful art, relevant for society and our time, may not be sustainable under the current conditions here," Kline states, emphasizing the challenges faced by contemporary artists."
""American art is suffering a polycrisis that combines a lack of belief in and support for its artists born after 1975," Kline notes, pointing to economic factors affecting younger generations."
""The artists that I talk to who were born before 1975, except for the most privileged few, are not immune to these conditions," indicating that the challenges extend beyond just younger artists."
New York City's real estate market is deeply inequitable, affecting the creation, exhibition, and sale of art. Artist Josh Kline argues that meaningful art may not thrive under current conditions. He identifies a polycrisis affecting artists born after 1975, including economic challenges like recession, student debt, and wealth transfers. While Kline focuses on younger artists, those born before 1975 also face similar struggles, indicating a broader impact on the art community. Acknowledging the problem is essential, but timely diagnosis and action are crucial for change.
