Abstract
Portrait of the Artist in Red Ink was an installation of artists' financial portraits on canvas [1 ]. Inspired by an article of the same name [2], the work resulted from the application of 20th-century financial analysis models-socioeconomic research tools built on capitalist economic models-to artists. I conducted extensive interviews of artists about their professional, lifestyle and family goals as well as their incomes, expenses, debt loads and where they wanted to live. These interviews provided the basic information for the custom interactive financial model I created, which included life expectancy, projected earnings, loan repayment schedules, asset purchases, expected Social Security benefits and retirement fund balance. This model enabled the artist to explore various economic options and see the different effects these choices had on income
