Visual Artists Between Cultural Demand and Economic Subsistence. Empirical Findings From Berlin.

According to the demographic structure to the “scene” districts the most significant
empirical result is the predictor “Age group until 40 years” for both groups “Scene”
and “Central”. This concentration of almost young visual artists in the inner-city
districts correlates to the other mostly younger inhabitants¹³. In contrast to this,
visual artists over 40 years seem to prefer more periphery districts of Berlin (see
column 1).

And in the end there are empirical evidences for different strategies of visual artists in
finding their living and working places (refers to hypothesis 2).

In each case 40 per cent of visual artists working in their flat or have a studio, 13 per
cent working in a studio flat, 7 per cent have no working facility.
