Survival Notes is an inspiring narrative, weaving artists' reflections on success with advice to aspiring creatives. Featuring direct quotes and exclusive interviews with well-­known artists such as Anish Kapoor, Jesse Darling, Tracey Emin, Ryan Gander, and Shirin Neshat-­to name a few-­this book offers authoritative counsel on how to thrive in a highly competitive creative field. By providing a glimpse into the unique career paths of established practitioners, art writer and historian Lydia Figes highlights the practical realities of the art world and demystifies the route to professional success.

Thematic chapters offer essential guidance for emerging artists on how to negotiate the complexities of the art world, with discussions relating to self-discipline, mental well-­being, education, commercial representation, and other relevant topics.
