Dear colleagues, please tell me how to measure the demand, recognition, productivity and development of creative people (living), if there are NO sales figures, sales dynamics, participation in auctions. There is also no number of created works.. The only thing is that you can understand whether there is a website or not, likes, networks, publications and mentions in networks, possible participation in exhibitions and biennials.
Maybe there are ideas and works of other people, methods. I will be glad to receive any thoughts and ideas with great joy and impatience. Thank you sincerely!
Productivity shows in the amount of works produced. Included here are publications (by the artist). Demand shows in sales, not in "likes". You can get millions of likes and die without selling a single painting or drawing. "Development" meaning ? artistically -technical or stylistic improvement- or development of career (more sales) ? A website can show productivity and artistic development (mind you, some people now use instagram instead of personal website). Productivity also applies to conferences, presentations, masterclasses, workshops.
Recognition is tricky, you can be recognised locally -in your city- and be completely unknown in your country. You can be recognised academically (publications) and not be recognised as a creator. Exhibitions show that the artist is active, regardless of whether they are solo or group shows. Generally exhibiting shows one is active, but not necessarily that one has demand in sales or recognition outside the limited circle of artists one collaborates with. Biennials are a form of recognition, especially if one is invited to exhibit.
You would probably have to consider all of the factors you mention in your question. Just bear in mind that an artist might be active academically and less active in terms of exhibitions: that does not mean that there is less productivity.
