Original artwork description:

the man at the garage told me that he was an artist himself. But he added that it is impossible to live of art here in Florence. People coming to Florence only want so see artworks from the renaissance. I told him that almost every artist thinks the same about the place where he lives and that I was invited to Florence because of my contemporary art. He responded that this were only small events and that it would be much easier in the north of Italy or in Turin. He told me that there are many contemporary painters in Turin and that it is generally easier to live of painting in Austria or Germany. I told him that I would think about it. And it´s true, I think about it.
