Bhandari’s Art/Work is the no-nonsense field guide every artist wishes they had in art school — a candid, practical manual on how to make a living without losing your soul. It covers contracts, galleries, grants, taxes, and boundaries with the clear-eyed realism of someone who’s seen how the art world actually works. It’s not theory or critique — it’s survival as praxis, professionalism as rebellion against the myth of the starving artist.
