There is a serious divide within the art community. Artists such as Damien Hirst are highly recognizable and very successful financially. While there are artists like Hirst whose work is highly valued, there is a good sized portion of the art population who are happy simply making art. Not all artists are in this game for the money. Some of them actually really enjoy creating pieces of art. Now I am not saying that Hirst does not enjoy his art, rather I am pointing out that some artists are content with simply being artists. Which artists are more respectable that is a question of personal opinion. Personally I prefer artists who are not as mainstream or as high priced as Hirst. Artists who continue to work even though they are not becoming self made millionaires, in my opinion, are more dedicated and more genuine.
