Here's a link to any interesting article by David Galenson (Painting by Proxy ) in the Huffington Post about the practice of creating art by a collection of workers, rather than the hand of an individual artist. This long standing practice of using "helpers" by many commercially successful contemporary and earlier artists has been questioned by David Hockney, who currently has a hugely popular show at the London's Royal Academy of Arts. Is art a "white-collar" job or a "blue-collar" job? What is more important - the conception of the work or its execution?
