Sommario/riassunto

À partir de l’examen des différents canaux de diffusion et de valorisation de la création contemporaine dans les agglomérations de Lyon, Montpellier, Nantes, Le Havre et Rouen, l’étude propose une topographie des mondes de l’art actuel qui s’organise autour de pôles principaux : le monde institutionnel et le monde marchand, qui ont chacun leurs mondes intermédiaires. Elle identifie différents modèles économiques de l’art fondés sur une double distinction : économie d’



œuvres versus économie de projet d’une part, innovation versus tradition d’autre part. L’étude propose une typologie inédite des galeries et met en évidence des profils d’artistes (formation, carrière, lieux de diffusion, rémunération) différents selon le modèle économique au sein duquel ces artistes évoluent.  Based on the examination of various different distribution and promotion channels for contemporary creation in the cities of Lyon, Montpellier, Nantes, Le Havre and Rouen, this is a detailed study mapping the current art worlds, which are organised around major divisions: the institutional world and the commercial world, each of which have their intermediary worlds. It identifies different economic models for art based on two distinct areas, on the one hand the artwork economy versus the project economy, and on the other hand innovation versus tradition. The study offers a new method of classifying galleries and shows how artist profiles (training, career, distribution channels, earnings, etc.) vary according to the economic models within which these artists have evolved.
