“Artists have always had assistants, but the days of a few dedicated individuals toiling endlessly in draughty garrets are long gone. Today, ambitious modern art - made, perhaps, from space-age materials - is increasingly likely to be constructed by teams in either spark-filled factories or computer-filled design practices ...” Is it still ‘your’ art if you have assistants use their creativity to express your ideas? If those ‘apprentices’ go forth with the skills they’ve learned, is it their art or yours? In the old days, once an apprentice moved from journeyman to master, it was their art.
