The money goes toward a UK Treasury guarantee, part of a government indemnity scheme to insure the tapestry while it travels across the English Channel that saves the British Museum from having to pay for commercial insurance. If you\u2019re British, though, don\u2019t worry: the cash is contingent on liability. If the tapestry stays safe, so will the Treasury\u2019s coffers.<\/p><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Read This.<\/strong>\n<p>This week\u00a0<em>Artnet News<\/em>\u00a0published\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fclick.email.artnews.com%2F%3Fqs%3D7dfb96a191c9987f0ca443c9c9208ee3c9b85502affcb2c174a6dc2ebe573c536209af5601d4561f93564dcf638a6526b01fb0ffdedd57cc&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cdcassady%40artnews.com%7C4483081d4f094b706a1908de47b6802b%7Ce950f25546e44144a778a6ff4f557492%7C0%7C0%7C639027046329425123%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=%2BWJzlJREsePggqnR4GkRRBm3qwfHADo5Xb7jK8NyQSg%3D&amp;reserved=0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a surprisingly grounded little collection<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>of hard-won advice from artists at very different stages of their careers. It\u2019s not the usual \u201chow to succeed in the art world\u201d platitudes, but real, practical stuff about surviving, collaborating, and keeping your practice intact. There\u2019s everything from Manuel Mathieu talking about treating art-making as an act of generosity and choosing collaborators with intention, to Sharmistha Ray on not taking rejection so personally, to Aki Sasamoto building new work from whatever she can find lying around. What\u2019s nice is how honest it is about the economics: Miljohn Ruperto lays out how artists are now expected to build their own markets, and Jil Weinstock basically says, \u201cStop underselling yourself.\u201d The whole thing feels like a peek into how artists actually stay afloat\u2014emotionally, financially, and creatively.<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 Daniel Cassady, Art Business Reporter<\/em><\/p><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s Note:\u00a0This story originally appeared in\u00a0On Balance,\u00a0the ARTnews\u00a0newsletter about the art market and beyond.\u00a0Sign up here\u00a0to receive it every Wednesday.
