“…Long ignored because of their marginal and atypical nature, artistic employment and work have been the subject of increased interest in sociology for the past twenty-five years. Some studies make this particular type of activity an empirical analyzer of the transformations affecting the capitalist mode of production (Chiapello, 1998;Boltanski and Chiapello, 1999;Menger, 2002;Borja and Sofio, 2009;Ducret and al. 2017).…”

Based on a recent survey on the artistic work in a French region, the article consid-ers visual artists as a control population illustrating the possible destinies of low or poorly paid self-employment in contemporary capitalism. Artistic activities mainly attract graduates and people from the upper classes who nevertheless accept to be paid very little for their art and even, as entrepreneurs would do, to invest regularly in order to continue their activity. The maintenance of their artistic vocation then requires recourse to secondary income from social benefits, family resources or the development of complementary remunerative activities. Since all these possible combinations are not equally accessible, they determine variable regimes of artis-tic production, self-presentation and various articulations between salaried and non-salaried activities, the borderline case of which is the abandonment of crea-tion.

Artistic work has been mainly defined in modern industrial societies by its atypical features vis à vis standard productive work; in post-industrial societies, however, it becomes increasingly considered as paradigmatic of a new "creative class", including workers within a variety of knowledge and creative sectors. The article discusses this paradox offering a sample of key contributions offered by sociology to the study of artistic work and professions, useful to uncover the ideological bias hidden behind the supposedly new significance of artistic work within creative economies. It thus introduces and discusses the essays collected in the special issue linking them to the ongoing changes on the nature of work in contemporary societies.
