Art World

The art world is all artists and non-artists involved in the production, commission, preservation, promotion, and sale of art. Howard S. Becker, who coined the term, describes it as, "the network of people whose cooperative activity, organized via their joint knowledge of conventional means of doing things, produce(s) the kind of art works that art world is noted for." (Becker, 1982, p. x) Simon Frith (1996) describes three art worlds present in the music industry: the art music world, folk music world, and commercial music world. Timothy Taylor (2004) associates these worlds with three popular music genres: rock, rap, and pop, respectively.
